2pm, with the syndicated ACC Network or ESPN3 (hooray, Cleveland coverage for me).
Sorry for the extreme last minute, but I just got home from some family related activities.
It’s not a must win (yet), but it takes the pressure off the ACC Tournament for Pitt to get the win now. In certain years, Pitt would be in trouble for the NCAA Tournament. This year, there are so many teams with worse situations than Pitt; that it isn’t nearly as bad as it can feel when you have watched just this team this year.
Mailing the open thread in at this point.
I could write another thesis on Carl Krausers shooting form.
Shooting form with late game weary legs always shows up at the FT line. Until this year Jamie’s teams have been in the bottom 5% of the league in that area.
Again, I don’t blame Jamie for this. No HS hotshot wants any coach messing with his shooting form. Jamie obliges as do 60% of D1 coaches. So it’s back to recruiting a good shooter.
As far as what’s happened to Smiths shot… He’s always had a very flat launch angle. He could get those shots off easily at Coppin. Not so much in the ACC.
However, it is not going to happen this year, and maybe for several because of the contract.
The sad thing is that Jamie has to replace four of his best guys next year and we haven’t heard a thing about anyone being interested.
Jeter most remarkable.
My guess is Dixon would be in the lowest 10%…in other words, Pitt is spending the highest $$ for the average rank it gets.
probably at least 2-3 more years – possibly around 5 years – before a reasonable buyout can be negotiated (if the program continues at this current level)
This Dokish character is a real winner. He still defends Dixon. So happy this blog isnt such a shit show like him. National Writer my ass. A guy with the internet and a twitter account. Another Sheep follower.
Never been to Wichita…they are not very good this year either. They were ranked off and on, then lost in the early round of conference tourney.
@pittofdreams, ah c’mon, I know some things for sure. Pitt will beat up Albany, Jacksonville State and Sacred Heart next year to run up a nice 13-1, 12-2 record to get everyone pumped up for the season!!!
@anyone, tired legs?? These kids are 20, 21, 22 years old. C’mon. What about the other 350 Division 1 schools? They all have tired legs too.
Everyone schedules creampuffs? Sure, fine, all the more to cut that crap off to really see what’s goin’ on.
ACC record last three years.
9-9
8-10
11-7
