Sigh.
Empty possessions with under 10 to go make baby Jesus cry.

Hollis is the new Dajuan... So much talent... So little comsistent execution when we need it.

This is going to sound harsh but Nate is killing us time and time again and not just on offense.

I really dont understand why we spent a week thinking we could play zone against Pitt. Clearly, we should have recognized they would break us down. Why couldnt we play man on Robinson and Zanna? If they were lighting up the BE, they wouldnt have been relying on Woddall to come back to get their first win 6 weeks into the BE season.
Oh, well, it happens.

Game isn't over. 3-4 stops in a row and this goes down to the wire.

Our defense today is just abysmal. We had an offensive lull in the first half that put us in the hole but that's not why we're gonna lose this game. Pitt is getting dunks and layups. If you play good defense and your opponent makes a tough shot, oh well, but if you give up easy buckets all day long you deserve to lose.

First the 3/4 court press was terrible, then the zone was terrible, then man worked, but then of course we decide to get back in zone.

Otto fouled very obviously on that last play, then a phantom and one on the next. Frustrating.
But I think SF hit it on the nose, we've won more than our fair share of close games and as a result I've been afraid that we're a bit overrated. I'm not a troll who only posts in tough games. I still think we're much better than anyone expected at the beginning this year, but just not quite top 10. Probably top 20.
The announcers had a good point too--I think with these young guys play with such effort intensity against a good or highly rated team, but they think they can cruise against a less highly rated team. Not sure why they don't come out with the goal of winning by 20 and getting the reserves some run.
Another factor in this game: Hollis definitely not 100%.
