Women vs Louisville
- Thread starter DC_Area_Panther
- Start date
Final was 81-39. Pitt had 28 turnovers by the middle of the 3rd quarter and ended with 35 turnovers. Louisville only had 15 turnovers for the game. Pitt's extra 20 turnovers made it a blow-out for Louisville.

I watched it, and again
it was the same ole
story.....outta control
on offense. Now, L'ville
is damn good, but that's
no excuse for the 35 TO's.
Even the announcer said
we were out of control. A
perfect example was Amber
Brown, who is usually
somewhat in control, going
non stop the length of
the floor and barreling into
L'ville players for an offensive
charge. Harris had what I
thought was her worst
game as a panther, 9 TO's.
I'm not usually in the
"Capel can't coach chorus"
but coach White clearly
has installed a run at all
cost, helter skelter style
of play that just doesn't
work with this group. It's
obvious they do not know
how to settle and run
good sets on Offense. They
were given a lesson on how
to work the ball and get
good open shots by L'Ville
tonight. I see this as a
result of poor coaching.
If there were some clear
improvement. we'd see it
by this time. He's recruited
better players, but as I've
repeatedly said on here,
I don't think he knows
what he's doing. In fact I
feel he's in over his head.
This is why I was concerned about hiring someone with no head coaching experience at any level. He needed to have gotten his first job at a mid major.
I obviously agree about being totally "out of control" on offense and that being on coaching. Their passing was especially atrocious. No one was coming to meet a pass and they often threw passes that were too long to be accurate.
That being said, in somewhat of a very partial defense, they were playing the #3 Nationally ranked women's team (#2 in ACC) and a team known to be one of the best, if not the best, defensive teams in women's college hoops.
Would have liked to have seen a more deliberate style of offense--it need not have been a slow walk the ball up court style but at least one that was not trying to very sloppily run and gun constantly.
Yes, they were playing the
" # 3 Nationally ranked
defense." Unfortunately
they have been doing this
rag tag, helter skelter,
offense game after game
for two years now regardless
of the opponent. I am
sorry for sounding like a
broken record, but I've
been posting this for
over two years.
We agree on the "run
and gun." They are not
good enough to do it
against good opposition.
He has athletes, but is
not coaching them up at
all. I see no improvement.
and to me, that's coaching.

I agree with this. He can’t coach. He is 6-46 in ACC games and is behind SMS’ disastrous pace. They have actually regressed this year against the top of the ACC compared to last season.
There has to be some incremental improvement in their ACC record. You would have to think at least 6 wins. But I don’t see that at all.
I agree with seeing "some
incremental improvement
in their ACC record." Even
if they were still losing I'd
be less critical if they weren't
doing the same bad things
game after game. They've
had over 20 TO's in six of
their games so far. They're
not all due to pressure,
They're mostly self induced
due to their outta control
style. Again, COACHING.
Agree with the comments - that performance was embarrassing. Though for years we have gotten embarrassed by Louisville - I remember games where it was a major struggle against them to get the ball over the half-court line.
But having to make some late buckets so that you have more points than turnovers is really bad…
Four players who they seemed to have been counting on to make significant individual improvements - Hayford, Rita, Strother and Harris - have all struggled.
Maybe give Clesca a game at point guard and see what happens.
Go Pitt

Good suggestions, but
if there's no change in
style of play it won't
make any difference
who is on the floor.
Harris is clearly our best
pg, but she was also out
of control last night. I
like our players and our
depth. Our outta control,
raggedy ass offensive
strategy is killing us. We
simply can't play that
pace against good teams.
Good teams??...Hell we
had 23 TO's against LIU,
a team we beat 92-41.
You would have thought
I was the tv announcer
last night, given how many
times "outta control" was
mentioned. LOL
