Xavier Game Thread

[HailtoPitt]

Half just started and Pitt looks winded

 

[CaptainMurphy]

That’s 3 on Nunge right? That’s big.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Playing better and getting fouls from X. Need to make that count on the scoreboard

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Hinson has been playing pretty smart with fouls. Those two charges are big.

 

[Protes]

That’s 3 on Nunge right? That’s big.

And we're going small. Gotta start knocking down some shots!!

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Still no Fede? Where is he? Hurt?

 

[GomerTV]

Still no Fede? Where is he? Hurt?

I think so

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Still no Fede? Where is he? Hurt?

He was limping running down the court in the minute that he played, so yeah, I'm guessing the knee is bothering him too much.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Still no Fede? Where is he? Hurt?

He was limping when he was in. I think he will be used sparingly

 

[ThePanthers]

Fede was limping and got yanked quickly

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

He was limping when he was in. I think he will be used sparingly

Especially playing a team that has a big that he would have to guard all the way out to the three point line.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

And we're going small. Gotta start knocking down some shots!!

Need to go inside with him out. The outside shooting just isn’t there

 

[Sam Young 23]

Burton Elliott and Cummings can't hit anything. Tough

 

[h2p_5150]

At some point we should play a little defense.... sheesh

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

"He's being defended by a guy who has three fouls."

Who isn't a good defender when he has one foul.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

We've had chances to get this under 10 this half... just can't convert

 

[pittbb80]

Greg Elliot has been awful. Dude was lazy on D and can’t make a shot. put G back in and take your chances

 

[drgags]

legs seem tired. Shots are short and a step late. Gonna take a miracle

 

[Pittisit4me]

Burton must be just so worn out. He carried this team when we were looking good through that long stretch during the ACC season.

 

[ECUPittfan]

Still no defense

 

[Protes]

Greg Elliot has been awful. Dude was lazy on D and can’t make a shot. put G back in and take your chances

Yeah, down 13 and he airballs a 3. Big chance wasted. Got to get it to under 10 somehow, someway to put some pressure on them.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Greg Elliot has been awful. Dude was lazy on D and can’t make a shot. put G back in and take your chances

If Elliot ain't hitting 3s he gives you zero.

 

[daytonpanther]

Sibande playing well

 

[HailToPitt1985]

So 5 minutes have gone by and we're barely trading baskets with Xavier. They can cruise to the win if we don't find some defense. This is the season. Do what you have to do. Keep Hinson in there and if he fouls out, so be it. But nothing held back.

 

[pittbb80]

Wow JB just can’t buy a basket. I feel bad for him It’s over

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Burton is killing us. Damn it

 

[ECUPittfan]

Cut the shit button. Black hole

 

[Protes]

Burton is just killing us. Laying a complete egg.

 

[drgags]

where is my burton boy from friday. Moron !

 

[thebadby2]

Burton is a black hole. He’s not making anything. He needs to start looking for his teammates.

 

[Sam Young 23]

Burton stop shooting

 

[kma0043]

Get burton off the court.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Never would have thought our guards would become a weakness on this team.

 

[thebadby2]

Yeah, down 13 and he airballs a 3. Big chance wasted. Got to get it to under 10 somehow, someway to put some pressure on them.

He’s loose with the ball as well. He’s weak.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

twins are our only hope.

 

[ThePanthers]

Burton needs to pass the rock

 

[kma0043]

They are all forcing shots.

 

[pittbb80]

Our D has not been good for sure but we had no chance to begin with if we shot/played this poorly on offense Your big guns can’t have bad games.

 

[gary2]

Three missed layups. We had our chances.

 

[Blair_45]

Big missed opportunity there for Pitt to cut it down to around 9 or 10 points with these Burton misses.
