love watching this shit. just solid, gritty ball. full-out effort on both ends of the court.

just gonna come down to play making. we won the first half but its essentially a toss up right now.
2309174, UF too thick in the middle. Pitt needs to manup.
Posted by deejboram, Sat Mar-22-14 12:29 PM
P. Young needs 15pts this second half if UF is to cover
2309176, Second half regression has been Pitt's M.O. this year.

Don't be surprised if this goes to double digit deficit in the next few.

2309178, These teams are who we thought they were
Posted by Y2Flound, Sat Mar-22-14 12:32 PM
Florida looked bad vs Albany, Pitt looked great vs Colorado, but we knew both of those weren't the best pictures of the real team.

Pitt played the game exactly how they wanted it (minus offensive rebounds) and went into the half down 5

Now Florida is pulling away in the 2nd half. No real surprises.

Pitt's championship to make the season a success was on Thursday, all house money at this point.
2309185, Patric Young is a grown ass man

2309221, Can't be too upset about this one. Florida is really good
Posted by adam, Sat Mar-22-14 04:38 PM
Some of Pitt's freshmen played well at times, and actually looked like the best Panthers on the floor. So that's promising. Florida was just a lot better. They beat Pitt up.

Weird season for Pitt. Wasn't expecting much, then they started off looking good and went into a sort of tailspin at the end of the regular season. Then they played well in the postseason, which is a new twist on a Pitt season. Sad to see Lamar leave, he was great to have around. I'll be pulling for him to sneak into the 2nd round of the Draft and work his way onto an NBA team next year.

I don't follow recruiting too much, but it seems like Pitt has some talent coming in, so I'll go into the offseason optimistically.

Good for Dayton.
2309279, Don't know why Ennis is shooting jumpers
Posted by icecold21, Sat Mar-22-14 08:30 PM
when he hasn't hit one all night.

Should've drove the lane when they got that gift possession.

Can't fault him as much for the 3 but would rather have seen CJ shoot it.

Disappointing end to a season spent ranked #1 most of the year, but I'm not surprised.

But we definitely had an opportunity to get the W.
2309294, The one down 1 was really dumb
Posted by DJR, Sat Mar-22-14 09:06 PM
Either go to the basket or get the ball to Fair, who finally had gotten it going a bit and then never got the ball down the stretch.

The 3, I can't blame him, I don't think he would've gotten a better shot off if he drove.

He made some huge plays and some very bad plays down the stretch. That turnover that led to the layup to make it 49-46 was inexcusable.
2309302, Yeah. He'd been having success getting to the rim
Posted by icecold21, Sat Mar-22-14 09:26 PM
but the j never started falling for him. Driving or finding CJ would have been better options and not getting him the ball down the stretch was regrettable.

He definitely kept us in the game just as much as he took us out of it.
2309312, I remember 2 made jumpers the whole game
Posted by DJR, Sat Mar-22-14 09:40 PM
Gbinije made one from the ft line in the first half, and Grant made one in the 2nd half. 2 made jumpers in an entire game.....gotta be some kind of record.

If we could shoot, we beat Dayton by 20. Unfortunately the terrible shooting wasn't even that far out of the ordinary for this team, the last month or so.
2309281, dat season collapse.

2309295, Defenders running out of control into offensive players and hitting their elbow....
Posted by DJR, Sat Mar-22-14 09:10 PM
With their own face thing being a flagrant foul.......that needs to change.

The NCAA is so fucking dumb. It's always at least one aspect of the game that they enforce in an absurd way.

There is absolutely no way that was a flagrant foul on Cooney, and if the rule says that it is ? Well then that rule is retarded.

Didn't make Cuse shoot bricks all night, but in a close rock fight, it's a free point Dayton shouldn't have had.
2309306, That was ridiculous. That and the Craft foul too
Posted by icecold21, Sat Mar-22-14 09:31 PM
And that tech they called on the K-State scrub for dunking in the layup line during warmups.

There are a few rules that need changing.

2309335, LMAO for real
Posted by icecold21, Sat Mar-22-14 11:58 PM
especially considering they lost on Thursday and he's in here 2 days later mad as hell, randomly going at someone whose team didn't even play his.
2309355, you're both acting like some babies
Posted by guru0509, Sun Mar-23-14 07:22 AM
Both of you fools have been chirping about us all year..your squad got their skirts lifted and exposed.

Back to the drawing board..at least you have footba...Lol nevermind. Lacrosse season start yet?
2309365, Ummm.....but OSU lost first?
Posted by DJR, Sun Mar-23-14 10:10 AM
So what can you really say? It's not like OSU beat Cuse.

Regardless, I don't even have an issue with you talking shit. We've gone back and forth many times. I really don't know who that other guy is, so it's kind've an odd thing to do on his part. I guess he has strong feeling for Aaron Craft and I hurt him.

Cuse football is more than decent these days. They could probably be better if they blatantly cheated, but as far as anyone knows they don't.

Ain't no back to the drawing board though. Cuse will be right back in the mix next year like they always are.
2309375, they lost to the same team, who cares about when
Posted by osu_no_1, Sun Mar-23-14 11:20 AM
I don't care about craft, he was a fine player but not the alltime great the media made him out to be.

But you arent gonna act like OSU losing to them was so embarrassing and then try to cop pleas with blaming the refs when you lose.

The lack of respect is disgusting. Boeheim and k think they are on some other tier and it's beautiful to see them fail against such "lesser" teams. I'm happy. Sorry if I came at you too hard.
2309377, I never said OSU losing to them was embarrassing
Posted by DJR, Sun Mar-23-14 11:32 AM
I actually said I wanted OSU to win: 1)because I thought Dayton would be the tougher matchup for Syracuse. 2)Because I wanted another shot at OSU in the tournament and moreso Craft.

I'm not blaming the refs. Syracuse made 2 jumpshots the whole game and was 0-10 from 3.

But that flagrant foul ruling is bullshit. I flip out every time it's called.....even moreso in a 2 point NCAA loss. People who never played basketball must've made that rule. Defenders dry humping legs and throwing their face into the offensive players elbow is rewarded with free throws and the ball.
2309406, Who was whining and bitching though?
Posted by icecold21, Sun Mar-23-14 01:21 PM
Because there were no posts made like that from Cuse fans.

And then that clown came out of left field with some fire-breathing hate.

Wasn't no Orange fans in here crying about a loss, didn't even see much shit talking on the OSU loss in fact, but your boy was crying those crocodile tears two days later, so if anyone is acting like a baby...
2309416, Pretty sure DJR was the author of the Craft post
Posted by guru0509, Sun Mar-23-14 02:04 PM
..where he was incessantly whining about defense lol

and correct me if im wrong, but you were in there talking shit too...but it's all good. That's what this place is for.


>And then that clown came out of left field with some
>fire-breathing hate.

lol fire breathing? naw

he clearly stated why he was heated.

I dont hate Cuse. I think Boeheim is a surly dickhead, but that's about it.



2309428, If he made a whiny post then I missed it
Posted by icecold21, Sun Mar-23-14 02:45 PM
or didn't interpret it that way.

And I did cheer the OSU loss.

But he came in here going off on SU fans on a level that didn't seem in line with anything said about OSU. So it seemed out of the blue.

But I'm not trippin about it or anything lol.
2309441, Yeah, I was the author of the post where I linked the article
Posted by DJR, Sun Mar-23-14 03:27 PM
that was clowning Craft for fouling the shit out of everyone. I think you OSU fans even made it the official Ohio St. season post .....until they started losing. If I had real beef with Ohio St. I would've been upping that post quite often the last two months but I left it alone.

Nothing OSU No 1 said seemed to have anything to do with that. I never clowned OSU for losing to Dayton or said it was an embarrassing loss or blamed the Cuse loss on the refs.....and those were the things he said he was heated about.

I'm still baffled where all that shit came from.
2309459, Lmao, yea I did..then once I saw how Jekyll Hyde we were..i dropped it

lol, chalk it up to losing to Dayton I guess. I still cant believe Craft went 1 on 3 for the final shot..smmfh

Posted by Frank Longo, Sun Mar-23-14 01:51 PM
Wiggins got six shots not just because of passivity but because SO MANY FUCKING POSSESSIONS passed where Wiggins simply didn't get a touch!

Then, when Nastic and Powell are both playing with 4 fouls with about five minutes left... they settle for jumpers or pass the ball too many times! FEED ELLIS! LET WIGGINS DRIVE!

I realize that teams with length block shots, but Ellis has performed well against length most of the year and Wiggins has penetrated against nearly everyone due to his athleticism. You can't give up going to the rack! Especially when it was WORKING at getting Powell in foul trouble!

I was overjoyed to see Stanford win, because I'm so happy for Dawkins, but good grief, so bizarre watching such magnificently inept offense from a team with such a wide variety of offensive talent.
2309421, That last possession was especially hilarious
Posted by Poorspellir, Sun Mar-23-14 02:20 PM
Mason just flat-out refuses to hand the ball off to Wiggins. Chooses instead to give it to Frankamp to try and create a look with six seconds left.
