Vanderbilt game thread

[HailToPitt725]

Wow, that move by Cummings to get the and-one might be the nicest individual play I’ve seen by a Pitt guard in a couple years.

 

[PittPharm2002]

We just did not bring the energy we had in our last game. No intensity.Standing and watching a lot.

Vandy’s guards are much better than ncsu

Too bad he followed it up with such a poor shot.

 

[PittPharm2002]

Nelly has played well but that last shot was dumb

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Would it kill Vandy to buy a mop?

Would it kill Vandy to buy a mop?

That’s what I was thinking too

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

If we lose this, 1-4 against the teams with a pulse OOC. We’d have to win 12-13 in the ACC to make tourney. Not sure how that’s possible unless we make 12 3’s every game

 

[BreakingPitt]

drive the lane........

 

[docpanther26]

Elliot has to be involved here!

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

Wow!

 

[docpanther26]

C’mon Pitt!!!

 

[Pittisit4me]

Nice comeback either way. Can we defend?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Get a stop and a goddamned rebound!

 

[BreakingPitt]

Vandy has some voodoo over us ....

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Dammit

 

[PittPharm2002]

Battled back but needed 1 more stop

 

[Pittnerski]

Went too soon on offense. I get it… until it doesn’t work.

Oh well.


Capel era…

 

[BreakingPitt]

Dude had ice in his veins on those 2 fts...
62 percent shooter, mfer

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

Well shit.

 

[PittPharm2002]

That was actually a great play - they just got the block

Looked like it may have been late anyways. Would’ve been close

Yeah, I think it was pretty clearly after the light on the backboard came on.

 

[PittPharm2002]

No moral victories since turnovers killed us
But there is some heart on this team

 

[cruzer]

Man it hurts to lose another buzzer beater to Vandy.

 

[gary2]

Burton probably should have been standing perpendicular to Fede

 

[PittPharm2002]

Yeah but like the design using Fred’s height to receive and handoff

 

[Pittisit4me]

I don't think we will win too many if any, when we give up 75 or more. The defense wasn't good enough.

 

[FireballZ]

Tough foul by Elliot from behind there. Fede was right there. I think he either blocks that or forces the smaller shooter to make an great, adjusted shot over him. Tough way to lose, but the defense in the final 7 minutes wasn't good enough when coupled with the poor rebounding all night.

 

[HailToPitt1985]

I didn't watch the game but saw the box score with team stats. It looks like we were outrebounded significantly and too many turnovers. We won't win many games, if any, if we do that against the better teams. And why is Hugley even on the floor??? No rebounds????? Can he do anything?

 

[FireballZ]

If we lose this, 1-4 against the teams with a pulse OOC. We’d have to win 12-13 in the ACC to make tourney. Not sure how that’s possible unless we make 12 3’s every game

Yep - that was probably a must win for any realistic postseason hope.

 

[gary2]

Stallings would have switched to a 1-3-1 for that last possession.😉😉😉

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

If I could have grabbed one more rebound from my couch I would have out rebounded Hugley.

And as we learned tonight, even 12 3's won't be enough to beat some of those teams with a pulse, so I doubt it will be enough to get a dozen or more conference wins.

Also missed 7 free throws, 5 by Burton and Hinson. Vandy won it on free throws.

He was just low energy. Could be conditioning coming off the injury .

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Should have called a TO after he made the first FT. Break his rhythm and you still can draw up a play.

 

[Cap pitt]

We’re those SEC refs

It is not conditioning when you throw up your hands and complain about being fouled, while the ball is going the other way.

Basketball refs are independent contractors. There are no SEC refs, or ACC refs, or whatever. Those guys do games all over the place.

He didn't get it off. 1.1 isnt enough time to try the modified Bryce Drew play. Really your only chances are to throw a hail mary in the hopes someone can catch and shoot it (Federiko should have shot it) but those get deflected 9 times out of 10. Or try to run a few guys going forward so they can take 1 dribble and launch a half courter. At least you'll get the shot off but the chance of that going in is 1%-2%
