Start of the second half

[gary2]

Frame missed 2 wide open threes and Carr missed an easy one. Instead of 3 for 5 and 8 points, it was 0 for 5 and zero points.

Carr can play a little but needs to play smarter, dribble less and slow it down a bit to convert some of the easy open shots he gets.

Frame needs to see what Carr needs to do and follow the same script.

We have 5 players that are an average scoring threat - Carr, Stewart. Frame, Stevenson and Brown, but they never seem to play together. We can't play defense anyway, so why not play these guys together? We have no depth.

Luther and Ellison will help next season. Maybe Kingsby and Golden.

Stallings needs to settle on a lineup before the OC schedule even starts.

First nine possessions of the second half, seven missed shots and two turnovers.

Yep 0 points at the under 16 TO really was the dagger in hindsight for this one...sad.

Seriously. What happens at halftime with this team?

I'm not a fan of Stallings, but I respect the guy as a human being. It's the only reason I won't let myself think that he does something on purpose to get out of here. Game after game after game. It's mind boggling.

Really? - Did you see the shots at the start of the second half? Somehow it is Stallings fault that the players missed extremely makeable shots?

I mean... do you interact with him a lot? Do you have firsthand experience that would suggest he's worthy of your respect and to assume he's not just mailing it in to get out of here?

How many times does something have to happen before we think maybe, just maybe, the coach is playing a role?

Seems like when Pitt has the ball (and not just last night, but other games too) toward the end of the game, and losing, they run out the shot clock looking for the good shot and in reality they kill the clock and with just 2 or 3 seconds left take a really bad shot. Not to mention really bad foul shooting

I’m not sure Kene taking 3s from the wing are extremely makeable shots. I pretty sure Kene and Brown combined to attempt more 3s in the 2nd half than Stewart— that’s just bad offense.

As we see time and time again— our offense is almost entirely passing around the perimeter and taking a long 3 . If the offense is designed to do something different— it certainly isn’t showing in the game.

Just retarded...55 sec left or so & then it's down to like 26 left with Stevenson shooting 2 free throws & of course he only made 1.

At the end of the game, the #1 person to find is Stewart for a three or Wilson Frame. Any one else is just not a good look at all.

 

[Cap pitt]

Entirely to much dribbling and passing the ball around in the final 3 or 4 minutes using the entire shot clock, then taking a bad shot

I've never met him, but I'm trying to be respectful. That's it.

Stallings deserves a lot of blame here. With a better coach & better management this team should have at least 2-3 ACC wins by now but instead they have 0.

Right I mean he's been coaching for a long time now...it's not like Pitt just hired him off the street. Coming from a mid level SEC school, we all expect(ed) better than what's going on right now. So it is truly kinda wild.

At some point gary, Stallings has to be the one to take responsibility for this. It happens every. single. game.

Totally agree. They weren't just makeable shots. Several were WIDE open, as in no one within 5 feet of the shooter.

You’re suggesting that Stallings failed to land talented enough players-
I agree.

And his strategy stinks

If the offense is designed

Designed is the key word..By an offensive genius.
