March 13, 2008

Parent-Teacher conference this evening. This appointment was set a month ago. I had to guess when Pitt would play. I guessed poorly. Setting the DVR for this.

Unless Keith or Dennis can get back in time for the liveblog, this is the place to rant comment.





Biggs WTF

Comment by Will 03.13.08 @ 8:37 pm

DO TEHY KNOW WHAT THE FUCK OVER TEH ABCK IS?

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 8:38 pm

Nice possession.

Comment by Campbell 03.13.08 @ 8:41 pm

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE CALL THERE? OUT OF BOUNDS? FOUL? ANYONE?

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 8:41 pm

dejuan blair looks EXACTLY like elton brand

Comment by the breast stroke is the best stroke 03.13.08 @ 8:43 pm

We are getting all the calls. Please stop bitching.

Comment by Joe 03.13.08 @ 8:44 pm

Whhaaaaa? All the calls? Don’t they have 3 team fouls and they’re in the bounus already?

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 8:47 pm

Can someone tell me what sport these guys are playing? I’m relatively sure you’re allowed to make some contact with opposing players in basketball, so that can’t be it.

Comment by Will 03.13.08 @ 8:49 pm

Bill and Dick are bitching too …

Comment by MelbaPlace 03.13.08 @ 8:49 pm

We still getting all the calls?

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 8:49 pm

Hopefully having missed all out FTs earlier means we’re due…

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 8:53 pm

Unreal….another over teh back with no call. These refs are a fuckign nightmare.

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 8:56 pm

Caracter just trucked Biggs, no call.

Comment by Will 03.13.08 @ 8:56 pm

Blair shoved off for boards the entire first half. I’m not gonna complain.

Comment by Joe 03.13.08 @ 8:59 pm

Time for some NYC magic.

Comment by Campbell 03.13.08 @ 8:59 pm

HHAHAHAH YOU FUCKIGN PUSSIES…nice flop. About time they didn’t reward it.

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:01 pm

Sure would like to be shooting better than 10-18 from the free throw line right now.

Comment by Dave in Orlando 03.13.08 @ 9:02 pm

Give us a huge bucket here….

And blair had position the entire first half and was getting shoved – not sure what game you were watching…

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:03 pm

FINALLY we get teh foul on teh rebounding action….

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:04 pm

Holy crap….FTs killing us.

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:04 pm

Missed free throws…

Comment by Dave in Orlando 03.13.08 @ 9:05 pm

ONE SHOT, LETS WIN THIS BITCH

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:05 pm

Come on boys, let’s make those missed free throws meaningless.

Comment by Will 03.13.08 @ 9:06 pm

I wouldn’t be surprised if they fouled us.

Comment by Dave in Orlando 03.13.08 @ 9:06 pm

SHIT…how fuckign close was that….

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:07 pm

Took a timeout for that shot?

Comment by Dave in Orlando 03.13.08 @ 9:07 pm

i don’t think thats the shot they wanted, i think lu just knew what we were going to do and shut it down…

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:10 pm

Weeeeee!!! We made a free throw!

Comment by Dave in Orlando 03.13.08 @ 9:11 pm

Why couldn’t you have made these five minutes ago?

Oh well, water under the bridge now…let’s clamp down and take this.

Comment by Will 03.13.08 @ 9:11 pm

Fields make too many dumb selfish plays

Comment by mark in NJ 03.13.08 @ 9:16 pm

G.Brown having one hell of a game

Comment by MelbaPlace 03.13.08 @ 9:18 pm

Not a bad decision right there by Fields. Make some free throws when it counts and this game is in the bag (knock on wood).

Comment by Dave in Orlando 03.13.08 @ 9:18 pm

Fuck me, I just realized I have an 8 p.m. flight to Boston tomorrow.

Comment by Will 03.13.08 @ 9:20 pm

WERE BACK

Comment by the breast stroke is the best stroke 03.13.08 @ 9:24 pm

There it is!

Comment by Campbell 03.13.08 @ 9:24 pm

nice….who didn’t see that coming?

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:24 pm

Wow. The heart on this team is huge. Big win, Thank you Panthers!

Comment by Panthoor 03.13.08 @ 9:24 pm

Sosa doesn’t have much to say now, does he?

Comment by Campbell 03.13.08 @ 9:28 pm

Is that 3 years in a row we take them out of the tourney? I think we can sneak into a #7 seed in the NCAA Tournament with this win. I don’t see us moving into a 6 or a 5 unless we win the whole thing.

Comment by Panthoor 03.13.08 @ 9:30 pm

8pm to Boston? you’ll be fine! game isnt gonna start until 9:30!

Comment by Jamie H 03.13.08 @ 9:34 pm

Damn, add 3 inches to both Fields and Ramon and we’d be #1 right now. Fuck it, I’ll take ’em.

Comment by steve 03.13.08 @ 9:35 pm

Well, we kept getting hammered down low, no calls, everything against us, and we were still able to pull it out.

The ONLY bonus is we get 2 extra hours of rest – i guess we should hope MU wins so that they have as tired of legs as us. Either team we need revenge on though.

Anyone else notice Benji didn’t score a single point? Refs sat his ass. Hopefully that helps his legs a little for tomorrow.

And F Pitino. Guess we didn’t wear down cause of injuries, huh bitch?

I guess we get Higgins tomorrow cause he did a morning game. It’ll be at least some of that crew that called 800 fouls in the WVU/Uconn game, most likely.

Thank god we made the foul shots at the end.

And our defense has improved IMMENSLEY. Thats what i like to see. The double team on the post was big in forcing some TOs. Nice adjustment by Dixon.

Although i think we got a little lucky with all the open looks they got from 3. Need to tighten that up a little too…

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 9:38 pm

I would love to play ND again. Their center is overrated. During the last game in south bend, the refs called a very soft game. I’m not so sure he will be as valuable in NYC.

Comment by Campbell 03.13.08 @ 9:47 pm

YEAH BABY!

Comment by the breast stroke is the worst stroke 03.13.08 @ 9:49 pm

MA F’in GIC!!!……lots more left!

Couldn’t be more right about Pitt’s double down on the ball inside…best all year and it frustrated the hell out of Louisville.

Have a many problems with a hot dog like Pitino, but same as Huggins, as soon as a player makes a mistake, he pulls em. Doesn’t make for harmony on the team..

Great heart, great coaching job by Dixon et al.
Sam Young is a man! Fields and Ramon do not want it to end….I make Marquette about a 6.5 Pt favorite over Pitt tomorrow.

Will sleep with a smile tonight…so excited over this…

Comment by Dan 72 03.13.08 @ 9:53 pm

If we win tomorrow they should rename the tournament to the Pittsburgh Invitataional Tournament.

PIT for short.

Comment by Stuart 03.13.08 @ 10:01 pm

I think I rather play ND, we don’t play well against Marquette. At this point it might not matter because we don’t back down. We rule.

Comment by Panthoor 03.13.08 @ 10:15 pm

Stuart, do you watch x-files or battle star galactica?

Comment by Tim Higgins 03.13.08 @ 10:17 pm

I bet he watches night rider!!!

Comment by Paul Evans 03.13.08 @ 10:18 pm

I’m sorry, but that win deserves some blue: motherfucking yeah!!! Aside from the shaky FTs and some loose ball-handling, that was an incredible game by the Panthers. Excellent D. Great execution on offense. And lots of hustle. There were bad calls both ways, but we got hosed about a gazillion times.

I would pay $100 to sit down with those refs, watch the tape, and be able to show them plays where they called a foul on us but let far worse shit go on Louisville.

Brown played a great game and I believe Benji sat the last part of the game because Brown simply matched up better against ‘Ville’s personnel. Benji didn’t foul out, right?

In any case, I just need to decide whether I want another Stone Pale Ale or to end the night with a Campari & soda. Decisions decisions.

Go Panthers!!!!

Comment by Carmen 03.13.08 @ 10:18 pm

what a great win! The expressions from the Louisville bench told it all. Nobody can say Levance is slowed anynore. This season was a gut wrencher since Cook and Fields went down, but we sure are having fun again now. BTW, we are getting some great coaching. It amazed me how quickly some folks turned on the team and coaching. HEH, this is college basketball – loosen up and enjoy! Now is it ND or Marquette up next? We can’t have hurt our seeding by this win tonight. New RPI will be interesting…
