** I’m pretty much out of words for this season. So I’ll quote @ChiefJusticeMarshall
** In the game thread, he said: “It is absolutely mind numbing we cannot run a decent offensive set where we get a good, uncontested easy shot. Everything, and I mean now 2 months total, everything is a chore and a score is usually off of an individual effort. And we just do not have good enough talent to have to play one on five every possession.”
** Yep.
** But everything else that has also been wrong since Stanford was on display.
** Turnovers. Rebounding. Being outmuscled. Giving up easy baskets in the paint. Giving up over 50% FG shooting. Trouble with screens leaving open three point shooters.
** This is about as far as I’ve ever seen a Pitt Hoops team fall in the course of a season in all my years watching the Panthers. It’s right up there with the 98-99 team, or maybe the 85-86 team. It could end up being worse.
** Should it be noted that both of those were the final seasons for the Coach who led the Panthers in each of those years?
** So where do we go now? Now that we know it won’t be the NCAA tournament, hopefully, we’ll show some pride and fire in the final seven games. That would be a start.
** Because we certainly didn’t show pride and fire tonight.
** We haven’t shown this for quite some time actually.
** That's all I've got. But I'll be there Saturday hoping for the best.
