4 dunks for Pitt prior to the first media timeout. Ugh. Baker did have a nice block at least!

Not a great start

And Baker shooting threes. Is this a similar situation to what we talked about with a departed player? Did we recruit Baker and need him to play a role he doesn't want to play?
Offense still looks lost.

30 point loss incoming. Looks like a CB coached team.

At least we had a plan on offense, Albeit, a bad one with the weave outside the 3 point line, but at least they moved. If we don't run we got nothing.

Trazarien needs to start for this team.

Does Pitt go winless in the ACC? They are bad.

Capel is a terrible coach, and I have no idea why D1 teams still keep giving him jobs. I get that he's always had a lot of good connections, but eventually you need to win at this level to keep getting jobs, and he never has outside of 1 solid season at VCU 17 years ago.

This team is hard to watch. It’s only the third game, but what is our half court offense? I don’t know exactly what I expected, but we look awful.

You forget he had a couple solid seasons at Ok, he won 30 games won year and went to the elite 8. He was also 71-40 at VC over 4 years. It's a what have you done for me lately world and he's stunk at Pitt. But he does have a decent history.

We don't have a half court offense. 25% from the floor. If we can't get out and run our offense is terrible. Much worse this year with more weapons, what does that say?

We are not going to beat teams with one on one play, no picks, no motion. Siddle needs to hire an offensive coach that knows how to run a motion offense or he won't be here long. This is pitiful.

I didn't forget at all. Yes, he had 2 good seasons with Oklahoma, but that had way more to do with Blake Griffin than Capel. Good on Capel and his assistants for getting Griffin to go there but beyond that I award him no points for how he coached at OU.

He never finished higher than 7th in his other 3 seasons at OU when Griffin was not on the roster, and now here at Pitt he's never finished higher than 12th in the ACC.

Nobody has more than one rebound with 3:30 left in the half.

Really? I was more focused on the fact that we have only hit 2 of our last 11 field goals...

This offense sucks. Turnovers, horrible shots, no ball movement. It wasn’t like this Pitt team lost on a buzzer beater to The Citadel, they got blown out.

Sims 1-5
Baker 1-6
Okauru 1-4

Those are our starters. 3-15. Looks like every other game so far. 1-8 from three. We either had to hit the three(we haven't) or turn them over and get on the run(we haven't) to win.

That was pathetic out of a timeout

Like i said, it's a what have you done for me lately world, he's sucked at 'Pitt. Getting guys to come to your school is part of your job as a coach. He did that, and reaped the benefits. Overall was decent at OU, good for 4 years at VCU. But, he sucks now. Thems da facts

Shutting off. Aggravating enough day at work........... Wake me up if something good happens. I'm sure i'll sleep soundly.
