Just watching the Pitt/Indiana game to see where Pitt is at and watch Jeremiah being Jeremiah.
Funny little tidbit... in discussing JR, the one head said to the other, he's a big, strong PG and then went on to discuss how good a player and person AUSTIN Rivers is. I found it chucklesome that that was the best they could come up with for JR.
PS: JR still doesn't take any perimeter shots though Dixon has his guys guarding him like he does (as I write this, JR turnover). I'd like to see JR develop at least some offensive game.

Anybody want to guess when this thread sees its first system joke?

Pitt is ungood. Not in any way NCAA quality right now

Jerimiah does NOT look good, first 2 possessions I saw with him controlling the ball he lost instantly. His only points came off a very nice back-door cut for an ally-oop which made me laugh. His defense was pretty good but the Hoosiers as a whole are playing good D.

VC.... agreed. They look BAD. Like really bad.
On a side note, I'm still enjoying Jeremiah's unnecessarily flashy behind the back passes that could just as easily be just passes. I'm sure that's system-related. Bazinga.

Is it just me, or does the kid seem to end up on the floor every other possession. I don't think I've ever seen someone fall down or get knocked down as much as Rivers did last night.

I think that Rivers has some chronic injuries hurting him right now -- they alluded to him going into the locker room to get stretched out and etc -- so his not coming out with the team likely had something to do with that.

He most certainly has a swollen self-worth as a player...

Apparently jeremiah was the only hoosier not to take in our game. I'm sure there's some excuse about needing to get stretched out for his back injury( that he got on a stupid circus shot drive) but to miss a whole 2 hour game. He was clearly ducking us.

Maybe he was afraid watching us play our system would mess up his game.

I don't harbor any ill will toward the kid, but he's pretty terrible. More turnovers than points last night. It would be nice to have some seniors on this team, but that's all Rivers would be: A senior. He wouldn't contribute much that we don't have in his absence.
Pitt must be pretty bad to lose to that Indiana team. It's about damn time for that program to have a down year.

The Indiana fans around me expressed very little love for him. Apparently, they haven't taken kindly to the JR.
He took a real hard fall vs the Terps and landed on his back. It required him to leave the game and hit the lockerroom for a while. I'm sure his pregame stretching had something to do with that.
