Second-half thread for Pitt-NU

[IdahoAlum]

OK, we can’t live with one or both fouling out?

We’ll find out.

 

[TheC]

To Young’s credit, he has improved his foul shooting this year.

To Young’s credit, he has improved his foul shooting this year.

It is somehow better than Kopp’s.

So Holland what’s the deal with our team. We are getting killed on the boards. We are not a small team. What gives. The only one who rebounds is Young

I see a lot more effort from Pitt.

 

[drewjin]

Buie and Young keeping us in the lead!

 

[GatoLouco]

Wondering if had Johnson not committed his 4th if we’d still be in this game.

Young, screw all the Young haters

 

[DaCat]

Young is our mvp tonight

 

[HawkCat]

Why does Nance get so much PT? I don’t get it.

 

[TheC]

Please don’t pass the ball to Audige!!

Effort. Need to box out. They’re being lazy. Rebounding is all about effort. To quote Charles Barkley “go up and get the damn ball”

 

[HawkCat]

Young is our mvp tonight

Young is slow and awkward, but he produces. Nance has hype and athleticism, but he does not produce. Arguably the same with Beran.

 

[Titanium999]

Patient basket

 

[TheC]

So predictable. Turn it over against the press late.

 

[IdahoAlum]

So predictable— we are consistently the worse team in the league in ability to break a press.

 

[TheC]

You knew this was coming.

 

[nickcat4]

Pitt lost at home by 10 to St. Francis (PA).

Slow motion compared to pitt

Boo has to do better down the stretch!

 

[IdahoAlum]

Once again finding a way to lose a close game.

 

[Fanaticat98]

I’m sorry I should never watch. I don’t watch a ton of NU BB and whenever I do it seems like we blow a big lead and lose.

 

[SLUCATS210]

My God this is like watching the Bears

 

[NU Houston]

Boo turns the ball over on the press and then misses two free throws....

 

[NUera]

This team won’t get far with two irrationally confident guys jacking up shots every game. And audige is clearly the better player. I’m not buying the “Buie has matured” talk from Collins. He needs to rein it in big time.

 

[Catslash]

move along nothing to see here

 

[IdahoAlum]

Chris Collins — the master of the close loss.

 

[Styre]

This team is not significantly better than last year, and last year they were terrible.

 

[Titanium999]

Chris Collins — the master of the close loss.

Sloppy finish! We had that game

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

Ugh

 

[catcrazy]

Well that’s embarassing. We are no different than last year. Collins needs to be fired for this ****

 

[DaCat]

WTF?????

 

[zbag51]

I actually thought we’d end up going to OT and losing, man this team looks no different from last year

 

[cedricmelons]

PAH-THET-ICK

 

[jensberg]

Up 70-65 with the ball and only 50 seconds left and lose.

 

[peatymeanis]

These players are not it man. Bad team. Not fun to watch. Poorly coached.

 

[Deeringfish]

that is why I don't follow NU BB

 

[freewillie07]

PAH-THET-ICK

Pretty much.

 

[zbag51]

I’m sorry I should never watch. I don’t watch a ton of NU BB and whenever I do it seems like we blow a big lead and lose.

It’s not you... it’s everyone

 

[HawkCat]

Extremely discouraging. Pitt is a BAD team that shot 35 percent—and we managed to lose to them. We looked so poorly coached tonight. Just a mess. It is hard to see more than a few B1G wins this year.

 

[catcrazy]

That is unacceptable. Collins needs to be fired.

 

[catcrazy]

When can we expect a team to hold onto a lead. Kopp plays scared. Buie misses the two biggest free throws. Where are our athletes, our penetrators
