Title: First Half
Post by: nyg on February 18, 2010, 09:06:55 PM
Shot 37% from field.
Butler one for five on free throws.
Lost lead when Acker sat.
Cubes had two unreal turnovers, really strange both time ball just left his hands.  Pitt scored five points off those.
Getting killed inside on defensive end.
Yet only down six.  Lets do this and finish on a national TV game.

Cubillan is stinking it up. He has been guarding Dixon, who had 8 points in the first half.
Butler is blowing free throws.
We lose this and we can kiss the dance goodby.
Playing very poorly in this game.
No fire--no defense--no brain engagement.

Yeah, the team has shown spots of what they are capable of, but they haven't been able to string together multiple good possesions since that 8-0 run.  Also we are not getting to many open looks coming from getting the ball in the paint which is not a great sign.  (we have had some but not as many as we need for how we play).

Worst half of basketball since the second half of the 'Cuse game.   And yet, here we are with a lead early in the second half.   Keep the faith.

Pitt's perimeter defense and ability to score inside makes this a very tough matchup.

McGhee and Taylor and destroying us inside with layups and dunks.  Gibbs just went by all and had a layup.  PITT doesn't need to shoot outside.

Lazar keeps on getting the ball low and then either misses or gets blocked.  Don't understand why they keep feeding him the ball low.  

No points from our bench, outscored 16 to 0.

Lets get this thing together.

This game does NOT make or break the dance chances.  You are so full of hyperbole and pessimism willie.

I doubt anyone takes anything you say seriously.
