Official RU vs. Pitt Game Thread

[BigEastPhil]

Does Pike know Ron Harper is on the team? Everyone looks awful. No passing. Everyone wants to be espn hero. Bad showing to date

THIS FREAKING POWDER PUFF SCHEDULING IS TO BLAME...I AM FREAKING TIRED OF THIS NONSENSE OF PLAYING SISTER OF THE POOR FOR 150 GAMES TO START THE YEAR AT THE RAC

Worked for Syracuse for about 30 years

 

[gregkoko]

ridiculous calls aside we look like s***

Yup. Half court offense looks terrible and can't close out on defense

 

[Super tRUper]

We're down 7 points and we can't make a shot to save our life and the refs blow. I think it looks more poorly on Pitt than it does us right now.

 

[RUFogey]

This team sucks.

BAC maybe it’s because we’re not a good team. Don’t think playing better competition would matter

 

[fluoxetine]

I don't think I've seen basketball this bad since Jordan. This team is NOT this bad holy shit. They cannot be.

 

[sct1111]

Welp their defense is way better than any meac team unfortunately. No penetration at all.

 

[RW90]

I love Pike but he needs to find an offensive mind on his assistant staff stat.

 

[jordkap]

Can anyone besides Johnson show up today? Truly brutal right now. Mulcahy, Young, Mathis, Harper, anyone?

 

[rufeelinit]

Well Pike will never be confused with John Belien as far as running a half course offense. How many times are we going to dribble down and chuck up a three. Do you think Pitt minds if we continue doing that? What a mess.

 

[Shell21]

Our offense right now consists of holding the ball, then chucking up a bad three . Get the balm inside . And where is Harper ? Get him in

 

[RC85]

That might be the worst call I’ve ever seen

You mean the Petersen Events Center hallowed "cylindar foul"? :Poop

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

shit calls, team is discouraged, awful shooting and turnovers. Better come out with a different attitude in the 2nd

 

[RUeric]

So are they not running any plays to get inside or is the actual strategy to dribble on the outside for 25 seconds and then chuck up a shot? Either way it’s horrible and Coach Pike needs to change something up.

 

[kcg88]

Can the "doesn't matter, we got the win (against Bryant and Drexel)" people officially shut up forever now that we're seeing the exact same kind of sloppiness against a better team that can capitalize on it?

PS Pitt isn't even that good, wait til we play like this against Michigan State

 

[Degaz-RU]

Pitt plays really good defense. Our guys are tentative because Pitt is all over us

 

[WPUknight]

These next 4 minutes might decide the game. Have to keep it to 5 at half.

I hear ya but it wouldn’t matter. We just don’t have enough good basketball players. Our offense is putrid. We can’t shoot the ball. That is just a skill we don’t have. Doesn’t matter who we play.

 

[Super tRUper]

Lmao what a horse sh1t call

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

This one might get outta hand. Cant say i didnt see it coming

 

[kcg88]

Not a ****ing foul

 

[Rutgers25]

This team is really bad.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Look like shit tonight.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Man this shit isnt fun to watch with these refs. Whistle whistle whistle

 

[BillyC80]

We’re wildly out of synch.

 

[sct1111]

Can't even set a legal pick wtf.

 

[SBP]

DRIBBLE DRIBBLE DRIBBLE DRIBBLE DRIBBLE

 

[RUTrack94]

Saw the game was 22-21 so I turned on the game ... my bad

 

[gmay8]

I was looking forward to this game for days, So damn disappointing I want to turn it off after one half

 

[biazza38]

I watched one possession. Saw an offensive foul and I turned it off. Sweet

 

[DHajekRC84]

That's 3 crazy ass shots going in, plus refs, against a 6 and 2 team that could be 7 and 1 ...no excuse but not total crap show either.

 

[RUTrack94]

There we go ... scored on back to back possessions ... within 8!!!

 

[DHajekRC84]

Ok, maybe.

 

[BillyC80]

Great charge taken by Kwasi.

 

[fluoxetine]

Why does Young hop his way down the court?

 

[sct1111]

Wtf is this offense?

 

[Super tRUper]

That kid is a dirty player. Elbows McConnell. Arguably intentionally charges at yeboah and then steps on him! Did anyone see that?!

 

[fluoxetine]

WHAT THE FxK IS THAT

 

[bethlehemfan]

Not valuing the basketball.
