Syracuse Game Thread

The zone is really giving them problems. Settling for 3s isn't they way to go, they need to find a way to collapse the zone and generate offense.
 
Hahaha...Wilson frame got pushed into the Syracuse player and got Called for the foul.
 
How about the guys catch the pass? That isn’t on Johnson.


It is when everyone in the whole world knows that those guys can't catch hard passes thrown at them from five feet away. How many times do you (and I don't mean you specifically) need to see those guys not be able to catch those passes before you understand that they can't catch those passes?

If you keep beating your head against a wall and the wall doesn't fall over it's not the wall's fault that your head hurts.

Capel should try a press if we can get a bucket. Might get something going in transition that way.
 
Syracuse currently on a 19-4 run in the last 10 minutes you won’t beat anybody playing this bad.
 
9-0 run to the close the half turns a 12 point deficit and things looking terrible for Pitt into a 3 point deficit and giving Pitt a chance heading into the 2nd half. Hopefully get McGowens more involved in the 2nd half and Capel will make some adjustments how to beat this zone. This once again is another very winnable game for Pitt as we go into the 2nd half.
 
You would think Pitt is not gonna play as terrible in the 2nd half for a ten minute stretch as they did in the 1st half. This should be a close game with Pitt having a chance hopefully in the last 4-5 minutes to win it.
 
Syracuse is shooting way above their season 3 point shooting average. Their offense has done nothing except shoot long jumpers, and they are not a typical good shooting team. Just dont turn it over in the 2nd half like the first,and we should have a good chance to win

We actually did a really good job with the turnovers later in the half. We had five turnovers in the first eight minutes, and then only three the rest of the half.
