Pitt

Great win. By the end of the year, that will probably be one of our best, if not our best road game win.

Oh and yes, Bobby knight is an idiot. He never evolved with the game of bball as the 3point shot completely changed correct strategy. He has such disdain for 3's but loves long 2pt attempts which is really dumb.

Im simply saying Rubles should start over Justin. Right now he brings more.

Agreed. The change needs to be made. Its not even really a knock on Jackson. He has just never been a starter and a spark off the bench would better than his inconsistent play as a starter.

I don't know, I could easily see Pitt have a similar season as last year.

I think its time to start Rubles...

Yes he is inconsistent, but when hes playing well this team is 10 times better... He is one of the few people that can get to the rim and get someone an easy look.

I fear that Justins game will be the same for the remainder of his career....

Cash makes some big time shots. Big time.

How about big dave! Huge 6 minute stretch from him.

Rubles shoots a basketball like Tim Tebow throws a football. Good defense and rebounder but an offensive liability.

have no idea what team your watching if you think RUbles is a offensive liability. If Rubles continues to develope he will be a nightmare for teams He
has the potential to be a difference maker. Did you miss how he easily got to the hoop and finished with his off hand. How about the pass for a dunk to David. He rebounds and plays defense. If he can become consistent with his jumper he will be a monster. When he is playing well he adds another option that makes the game easier for the 3 amigos. The fact that he can knock down his jumper in practice leads me to believe he will eventually do it in the games. His ability to get to the rim and finish destroys oppositions defense. They have to push up on 3 amigos which opens the floor for his penetration. If he gets more consistent as the season goes on the BE will be in trouble.

He will never be consistent with his jumper because of his down low shooting motion, see Tim Tebow's down low throwing motion and his NFL success.
 
I wasnt able to catch the game.

Did the offense show more promise than vs NM? And peoples facebook had comments about David Nyarsuk.... Did he contribute?

Second half offense was much improved due to rubbles ability to drive past his man.

First half was rough.

I've always thought the "starting lineup" is overrated and not something to worry about. It's just the people in at the opening tip. Now if Rubles wasn't getting enough minutes, that's a separate issue. But as long as he keeps getting the PT he deserves, I won't complain.

Totally agree, if its not broke don't fix it..... If we take Jackson out of the starting line up the only thing that would do is put more pressure on rubles and jackson would lose confidence in himself. As long as they are both player hard defense, I would rather have them both play 20 mins per game. Rubles offensively brings a great change of pace to the offense and can beat any 4 man in the country off the dribble, thats why he is so great off of the dribble, because he is a small forward playing at a power forward position and he cant be guarded by a power forward.

Neither he nor Jackson should ever shoot a three...period.

They are a combined 2-32...'nuff said.

Completely disagree with saying Titus shouldn't shoot. Just needs confidence. Has a good stroke. Fans gasping when he lines up is absurd and hurts his confidence. He must have the green light to shoot threes, it makes his game so much more dynamic. If he starts hitting a three or two a game our offense is now really strong.

Mick was interviewed prior to the game and said a bout Rubles shooting he won't discourage him. If Rubles continues to develope he will be a huge contributor. His handle is as SK. He is our best athlete. As the season goes on and he controls his hi foul hi minutes ill go up. His drive and dish to David was sweet. He also took the Pitt defender off the dribble and finished with off hand. He also drew the foul. If he can hit a jumper they will have to respect his game more and open up the floor for others. He is a big key for us. Great pick up my Mick.
