Bearcats with 11 turnovers at half. Only three BE teams have had that many against Pitt in an entire game this year.

Open shots?

No one is open.

Are you serious? We had so many open shots I couldn't believe it! Larry misses probably 6 open three's, SK misses a wide open three, we miss two dunks and an easy layup from DD, multiple open looks from inside the free throw line! Dear lord if we make just those 3 layups we are in the game! What game were you watching if you didn't think we had open looks?

Not beating anybody shooting 33%. 22 offensive rebounds and you have to take advantage of that. Showed heart. Couldn't shoot from anywhere.

Agreed, we looked really good pressing and thats how we got back in the game. I seriously don't know why we don't press for 40 min!

I really have no idea either. My husband was screaming that the entire game. I have to wonder if this team doesnt have the talent to press good teams.

One good thing. The Cats did look stronger inside, even without Gates. Very frustrating game though. Not a lot to say about it that is positive. Hard day to be a fan.

It's hard to press when you don't make baskets...or free throws for that matter.

UC didn't finish around the rim (especially the first 30 min), nor did they help themselves from behind the arc.

The defense wasn't bad, but MC MUST bring in guys who can shoot, as well as bigs who can contribute inside.

Different year, same story. That said, I guess it could've been worse, and the team showed heart.

I didn't expect a win. Loved the heart they showed. Where's the shooting gone?

Wilks and Jackson with 3 fouls at half. That's probably why.
