Jimmy V Classic

[Robert]

This is a classic Big East brawl... RIP Big East. Best basketball conference ever IMO.

Pittsburgh hasn't made a field goal over a 20 minute stretch of this game..

 

[TheLongHaul]

And now JJ can't rebound a FT. He kills this team.

 

[UCalum08]

Pittsburgh hasn't made a field goal over a 20 minute stretch of this game..

But they sure have made FT's. But it is pretty impressive on our end what we have been able to hold them to! But dang, now we are struggling to rebound!

 

[TheLongHaul]

Stupid, stupid, stupid shot by Rubles

 

[UCalum08]

Stupid, stupid, stupid shot by Rubles

Yup and it led to more FT's....dam*n. That was a big possession too.

 

[Robert]

Stupid, stupid, stupid shot by Rubles

Agreed. Hope TC is okay... looks like he will be, but you never know.

 

[Robert]

Also on TC's injury, I love how he got up and got off the floor under his own power. I know it sounds silly, but I really respect that.

Mick drew up a perfect play and SK can't deliver the ball.

 

[Scheids21]

Seriously? Other than two plays he has looked like crap. He can barely hit the rim on WIDE open shots, including shots from 3 feet away. He got stuffed by the rim on a layup. He has no business playing on this team. I'm amazed at how off recruiting analysts were on him.

Seriously. He has played solid defense and has been active passing, on the boards, and driving the ball. People don't seem to understand a low field goal percentage does not mean you had a bad game.

 

[UCalum08]

Epic fail.

 

[TheLongHaul]

Seriously. He has played solid defense and has been active passing, on the boards, and driving the ball. People don't seem to understand a low field goal percentage does not mean you had a bad game.

Solid defense? How was that defense on the turnover? He let his man drive right by him for the lead. Frankly, he isn't any good. If a game like this is not that bad for him than that just proves he isn't a D1 player.

 

[UCalum08]

Honestly, what can you draw up for this final possession? Who can finish for us? Not much option here.

he is not a starting player but in limited minutes he is fine.

 

[Scheids21]

Rubles did a great job against lesser opponents of realizing his limitation. He should not shoot anything outside of 5 feet no matter how open he is. He must realize that just because you got closer and drew contact, does not justify the shot. He has to stay close to the basket. It is such a liability when your man doesn't even have to be close to the guy with the ball.

 

[UCalum08]

Oh my....now can we defend this last stand without fouling??! We need this game much more than Pitt! lol

 

[Scheids21]

Clearly you're misunderstanding me. I agree he is not that great; however, comparatively speaking, he played a good game tonight.

 

[TheLongHaul]

wow! As ugly as that was, I'll take it.

 

[UCalum08]

Holy Sheit! So ugly but dang I am happy. Nice to see SK get to the glass at the end. That was the game changer!

 

[TheLongHaul]

he is not a starting player but in limited minutes he is fine.

but he isn't playing limited minutes. He is playing starters minutes.
