***Pitt @ Wake Game Thread***

[cruzer]

Can anyone cover Hildress? We're making him look like Larry Bird.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Hildreth 22 points and Lowe and Ish combined have 24

Big story of the game

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

You have to pocket that layup, Austin. Foul or not.

 

[SteelBowl70]

How does Austin Miss that layup?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

You have to pocket that layup, Austin. Foul or not.

We really could have used that shot to fall.

 

[DruidTM]

This team is so inconsistent

 

[SteelBowl70]

Zack was the hero against UNC but today is 1-6 and 3 points

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

BTW, that three that Harris missed for Wake, Reed rolls to the basket, Leggett goes with him and stumbles, so Reid is essentially all by himself under the basket. Pass him the ball for an easy dunk. Instead, they miss a three.

A big miss for them.

 

[cruzer]

We have to find a way to win a game like this. Make it happen Pitt.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

That was a heck of a basket by Sallis.

 

[SteelBowl70]

23 with a twisting shot - unreal

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Game. Really disagree with going zone there.

 

[cruzer]

Holy crap. That shot by Sallis was unreal. Three guys on him. He still makes it. Sometimes you just have to give props to a guy making really tough shots.

 

[Protes]

How on earth do we leave Sallis WIDE OPEN???????????

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

And another for Sallis.

 

[KennyTheKangaroo]

The zone was a good idea but it does seem to fall apart after a certain amount of time in each possession

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

How on earth do we leave Sallis WIDE OPEN???????????

We should be all over him. Instead, a team that never plays zone decides to play zone with the game on the line. Why?

 

[DruidTM]

Unbelievable with these threes

Just absolutely unbelievable

 

[Pitt8189]

very intelligent. Double team the brick laying point guard and leave their best shooter wide open

 

[SteelBowl70]

That 3 was the killer

Terrible

 

[cruzer]

You simply can't turn the ball over tat that time.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Lowe with another Miss and layup

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Atta boy, Lowe. You can't hit the side of a house lately, so let's fire up a 25 footer early in the shot clock.

 

[Protes]

Way to go with the hero ball, Jaland! 😡

 

[HailToPitt1985]

Why can't Pitt defend the 3 against Wake, one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the country?

 

[Pitt8189]

Thanks Lowe. Jack up a 25 footer contested then don’t get back on defense

 

[Fredact]

Lowe in his “I’m going to be the hero” mode.

 

[DruidTM]

That 3 was the killer

We just aren’t shooting well enough today to get this done

 

[HailToPitt1985]

If we weren't hitting all of our FT's, we'd be down by double digits.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Why can't Pitt defend the 3 against Wake, one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the country?

A lot of people seem to think it's back luck. I'm not one of them.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

If we weren't hitting all of our FT's, we'd be down by double digits.

If Wake wasn't hitting all their FTs they'd be down by double digits.

 

[Pitt8189]

Nobody shoots a high percentage of threes when they are contested hint hint

 

[HailToPitt1985]

A lot of people seem to think it's back luck. I'm not one of them.

It's not bad luck. Pitt cannot defend the 3.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Cohren is a f###ing idiot and a loser. He better not be on this team next season. Dude should be in the A10, at best.

 

[Protes]

GODDAMN, CORHEN!!!!!!!!!

 

[SteelBowl70]

And this is why you miss the dance

Very winnable game

Lowe poor game cost them today

Too many bad shots and drives that led to points the other way

 

[bobfree]

If we weren't hitting all of our FT's, we'd be down by double digits.

Wake Forest is 14-16. You're a total moron

 

[Pitt8189]

Low IQ basketball

 

[cruzer]

Unbelievable. We foul with 2 seconds left on the shot clock? Stupid. Those are the plays that lose games.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

All Corhen had to do was not reach.
