Pitt wins!!! 6-0

[JD1976]

Damn this team is going to be fun to watch all year, even if the ACC may not yield many wins.

Capel and his staff coached their arses off. Love the late game decisions including giving up the 1-on-1 up 2. That guy is an atrocious foul shooter and he indeed missed.

Hail to Pitt!

Good win for this team at this point in Capel's tenure. Pretty confident they won't go winless in the ACC if they keep improving. In fact, I now wonder if they can play themselves into the middle of the conference - something I would have never suggested in the pre-season.

Hail to the Panthers and Coach Capel !!

Honestly, my high-end goal for the year was winning overall record/NIT bid. I think 3-4 ACC wins gets that done if we win all OOC except Iowa and WVU. I'll stick with that goal and see what happens...

Had this game even been close in this hypothetical situation, tell me with stallings pitt doesn’t blow it at the end? Amazing the difference a good coach makes. Great coaching at the end of the game, Capel has a great staff assembled too. Also helps that Xavier Johnson looks like a future NBA player.

Impressive win!
The team was very cool, and composed during the entire game.
PITT basketball has a game plan this year instead of chuck & duck.

They will only get better!

This is killing the PITT " glass is half empty" fan-club.
They're grinding their teeth waiting for something bad to happen so they can say "I told you so."

Just wait until we get a 7 footer!

Go PITT & CSU Rams!

How about only 9 turnovers in that game? STL is big and tough and we have a bunch of inexperienced players.

On turnpike to Philly and saw final score and just smiled. This is a good time.

If we even had a legitimate BIG, even now ....we'd win games in the ACC.

If we had a legit big, then we’d be NIT or fringe NCAA.

I agree. OTOH. Brown , I'm sure is a nice guy, but he's killing us against
players like STL' inside guys.
