Pitt Men’s Basketball vs VMI Open Thread

Filed under: Basketball — Justin @ 4:07 pm

Good afternoon everybody!

Chas is currently passed out drunk errr um on the run from the law busy! Yea, busy is the phrase. He asked me to put up this thread and tomorrow’s slightly important football game thread oh god please don’t Pitt this please please please. I’m super confident in both outcomes.

7pm tip-off at the Pete. ACC Network for those of you who are saving up drunken energy for the football game. We saw some good and bad things against YSU, but the key to me is we saw effort. This team isn’t going to the NCAA tournament, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be competitive. Games like tonight are a good chance to build up confidence against what appears to be an inferior opponent. Trey McGowens showed explosive athleticism that Pitt has not had in awhile, much less from a freshman. Rebounding looks like it will be a season long issue given the lack of height on the roster.

What do you yinz think?





Hail to Pitt

Have hope for Pitt basketball again. We can’t have unrealistic
Expectations , but if we are Patient with Capel and his recruiting prowess we will be rewarded. Let’s rally behind this team and make the ‘Pete a tough place to play again

Jared Wilson-Frame with a big 1st half. Looking forward to seeing this team develop over the next few years.

Quite the game shooting for the team.
63.5% from the field & 52% from the 3.

The Runnin’ Panthers?

Good to see ya back, Justin! H2P!

Chas …this team is going to the NCAA’s. We have one of the best 3 point guards in the ACC but most of all we have Capel.
He runs both the 1-4 and flex to perfection. This team is loaded with hidden talent and coached by one of the best in the business. When we get there, remember you heard it fo st here. H2P

After suffering through last season as one of about 2,000 fans, I too have some optimism. Through two games, I am more eager to get to the Pete.

Even after seeing a much more athletic team, and enjoying the effort, I must temper expectations. So far, Pitt has beaten the 325th and 322nd ranked teams (per Kenpom).

But, I must say, the ZOO is active and the pep-band even sounds better (they actually added an electric bass).

Dan 72 from your lips (well, fingers) to God’s ears! Competition is weak so far but the effort and teamwork is so far above last year already.

Dan 72….I so want to believe. I also like what I see so far.
