*** Official Pittsburgh vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[AuH2O]

Great guts by our guys to battle back. Play with this focus and energy they will have a chance to pull it out.

 

[Thomasrickj]

I told yall Pitt was trash. Once we stop beating ourselves we will win this game

If only we could’ve gone 2-11 instead of 0-11 to start the game it would be a one possession game.

 

[Cyburbbalz]

STOP COMMITTING STUPID FOULS AND WE WIN!!!COME ON GUYS YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Considering 10 minutes in, the team was down 20 but now 7...and it could have been less. I'll take it as long as they come out in the 2nd half and it's not a repeat of the start of the game.

 

[CyGuy5]

Won't be a able to get over the hump , when you spot the other team 20 points to start the game and no idea what happens during the half time, they come out worse

My god you’re such a whiner. How have you not been banned yet?

 

[CycloneJoe6]

What the hell has happened to Jaz Kunc?

 

[Acylum]

Did anyone actually think we would get a good shot up on the final possession of the half?

No. Have we ever in that situation?

 

[inCyteful]

We need something offensively out of Jaz.

He isn't right. Don't think he can bring it today. Watson looks like a freshmen in first tourney game, understandable. Ward decent on Def but not going to get the points. Shoon and King are getting owned by their big guys.

I think it is going to have to be possessed Holmes to get us home.

One of the worst halves we’ve played all year, and we’re not out of it. Pitt seems a bit shaken by the fact that it’s not over. We need to come out hot and get even by the under-16 TO. Gabe getting 3 was huge…he’s gonna be the chance to win this.

 

[Final42b]

Impractical Jokers is not funny in the slightest

 

[LeaningCy]

Happy to be within striking distance after that start. No one better lay a finger on that rim during halftime. That thing is tighter than a gnat's ass stretched over a rain barrel. Pitt deserves an equal opportunity to loosen it up.

 

[67CY]

I sure as hell hope some adjustments are made at half.

Maybe TJ can prepare them better for 2nd half than he did for the beginning

 

[Marcelason78]

Now we’re Iowa.

 

[NoCreativity]

my gosh. we have a 2 for 1 going. then we foul 50 ft from the basket. give them 2 points, then turn the ball over.
can't make a freethrow versus they have half their points from the line.
amazing we are even in this honestly.

That end of the half after we had all the momentum from the Lipsey steal was the most low IQ basketball I've ever seen.

 

[cyclones500]

Other than the unnecessary foul and the lame offensive possession for last shot, those final 6 or 7 minutes were encouraging.

 

[cyphoon]

Do teams get to shoot around before the 2nd half?

H

 

[Die4Cy]

Only gave up 8 points in the last 10 minutes of the first half.

 

[cyclones500]

Question: Do you hold Gabe out for a few minutes to start 2nd half?

Normally, I'm against "saving" impact players because of foul trouble ... but are we confident enough to buy a few minutes?

Ya they are really packing it in. Gabe needs to stay out of foul trouble. I know he is great at what he does defensively, but they aren't giving him those calls.

Gabe's the only one who can punish them for packing it in, unfortunately. A little smooth Jaz would really be nice. Just like two made shots on the perimeter.
