Turning it over and not getting a shot opportunity on offense, giving them two opportunities on the other end.  Got to fix that to come back.

And ugh, Buzz, WHY call those end of half timeouts if you cannot coach the team to execute any better with it?  Buzz's special teams are "special" alright.

I'm curious to know what was said in that final timeout before the end of the half.  Was it "Throw up a three the first chance you get no matter where you are on the floor?"

There is no reason we shouldn't win this game. We haven't played a worse half besides the Vandy game. Pitt looks terrible. Can't believe we aren't down more.

Did you watch Syracuse?

Well, you call it because you will just end up losing it but I agree, you can call that play live on the sideline with " DJO, CHUCK A THREE BUDDY!"

Crowder had about the worst half I can remember from him....terrible shots, turnovers, bad defense, silly foul....just awful.   Now, he will probably come out in the second half and collect his typical 15 points and 7 rebounds....maddening.

And that second foul was flat out idiotic.  He gets so many cheap/dumb fouls and it really hurts his game.

The same can be said about Davante...Todd...

This team lack self-discipline.

Buzz needs to bring back that mantra: "very small margin of error"

I would argue that DG's first half was worse.   Other than not committing stupid fouls.

I think Buzz is going to run the course of the year with his two seniors as his race horses.

Let's hope Jamil comes into his own, Junior remembers he can penetrate and occasionally hit the three, and Vander is at his best NOT shooting the ball but doing the other things.

Vander had an especially bad half on offense...3 turnovers and deferring every open shot at the rim....attacks the basket and passes every time...no chance to pick up a foul or make something happen.   His defense was okay.   Agree DG had a brutal first half.

I liked the ESPN half time analyst suggest that Marquette needs to remember that even if they are struggling on offense that does not affect their ability to play on the other side of the court....defense intensity is lacking today.

The first 10 for Davante weren't good.  At the 8:00 TO he had no points, no rebounds.  He ended the half solidly with a few rebounds and a couple points.

And Blue was horrid that half...worst half of the season.

Need to get back to the basic principles of attacking the zone.   Get the ball to the foul line.   Make good decisions from there.   If no one comes and gets you, shot the 12 footer.   If they collapse from the wings, kick it.   If the middle guy comes up to challenge you, attack the rim.    Around the perimeter, reverse the ball, attack the seams off of a ball reversal.     Nice job, Junior.

Excellent!   That gives me a great excuse to defer any and all work I was planning on this afternoon as well as feeds my superstitions disguising my thirst.

DG has to stop getting out of position on D.  Two trips in a row, Pitt as been able to work it underneath because DG is out near the three for some reason.  Keep this rally up.  Nice offensive series.

Any way we can stop Gardner from getting stuck at the top of the key. Sees to result to a layup every time.

That over extending MU defense is killing them.  Gardner has to be 20 feet away from the basket doubling up, leading to two easy Pitt buckets.  He cannot get back in time because he is slow. Just don't understand the defensive scheme.

Being that, offense looks better and Crowder has returned.

I am baffled to why there can be such a discrepency in his performance from one half to the next...

Syracuse is 10 times better than Pitt. And we were on the road. A bit more understandable.
