Ugly, embarrassing, pathetic. Pitt postgame

Wow. What an embarassment. A bunch of seniors out played by freshmen down the stretch. On to conference play.  Hopefully c of c and eking dont each beat us by 30

Jumping off the bandwagon? They are a god team. Just remember, all these games are exh8bition games for the conference tournament.

Can’t have Starr & Zane on the bench with 5 minutes to go. Could’ve put them away there.

Pitt is NOT a good team.  Not by any stretch.  But give them credit for not wilting down 9 with 6 to play.  Normally, a young team like that would have further imploded.  Instead, it was us.

Off the bandwagon???  Ha good one. 

Umm anyone who watches college hoops knows Pitt stinks.  They started 4 guys with a combined 48 games of college experience.  Mike alone has started 80+ games.  

 

7-28 from 3. 21 turnovers. 57 % from the line and they still win. 

Our offense is bad right now and we are not the same physical rebounding team we were in years past

we are 0-3 on the road this year and that is very troubling

Yeah, horrible move. It led to two key turnovers. Have to have one of the two on the floor.

He took Starr out based on that horrible inbounds. Maybe should have kept him in.

But if we don't win the tournament, it's due to two main factors:

1)No John Davis, No Adala-Moto. We never really replaced them with burly inside scorers. Gorham is better but not there yet. Also, we have to play Thomas a lot of minutes because he's our only true center. When he comes out, we appear to get dominated on the glass.

2)Backup point guard. Last year, we had EK at the point so when Starr went out, he came in. Now, it looks like they are going to back to that a little bit. But EK can only do so much. Get outrebounded at the 4 because he's 6-5 and then try and run the offense when Starr is out is tough. But McNeill and Morman turn it over way too much. The only other answer is Prophete. If he doesn't improve, this is going to be a major problem the rest of the season. Starr is just not good enough to play 35+ minutes. So we're kind of screwed there.

Count on Coach Skerry to build on this. It’s a long season until they get to the tournament.

A game 4 miles down the road isn’t a true road game in my book sorry
