Not calling this game a tune-up because you know what happened last time I did that (17 point underdog Niagara upset us and beat us by 1).  Nonetheless, we should be able to beat the UMES Hawks.  Lets hope the fellas learned their lesson vs. Niagara.

  1. If I were Coach Capel, I would not let Pitt fast break all night. I would force Pitt to slow down and run their half court sets. Learn to move without the ball, set solid picks vs man defense and get confidence back hitting threes. H2P. Have a good game.

  2. Pitt blows em out and wins this game by at least one point.

    I don’t think the flying hawks have any bigs either so we should be okay playing fundamental basketball. They have played a tougher schedule than us. Agree with Dan that we need to practice running our sets, but I would not hesitate to take fast breaks when they present themselves….because that is how we will be playing.

  3. on many occasions vs WVU when Pitt was able to get the ball upcourt, there was already half the shot clock used up when Pitt got into its offense. It’s true that Capel comes from a program that is always offensively on the attack …. but of course, it has the talent to do so. The fact is that an all-freshman backcourt is going to take its lumps against good pressing teams.

    My bigger fear is that Pitt is dominated under the boards by the ACC teams similar to what Konate did on Saturday

  31. Pulled this from a Trib article on Pitt FB winning the 2018 Academic Acheivement Award –

    “Our players understand from the time they are recruited as high school prospects that our program’s highest priority is their academic achievement and earning a degree from the University of Pittsburgh,” Narduzzi said in a statement.

    That is not the case at Alabama, Oklahoma, tOSU, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, psuX and Georgia.

    While those schools won’t publicly admit that winning is their program’s highest priority, isn’t it obvious?

    Winning the Coastal was good – I guess the next step is to win the bowl game against the brainiacs of Stanford. I challenge you to play a drinking game during that bowl game vs the Cardinal, one shot for every time Pitt is mentioned as having such high standards in academics. My bet is you’ll be stone sober that afternoon and ready for your New Year’s Eve party – you could even be the designated driver to start the night.

    There is a 50-50 chance Pitt goes 1-3 in OOC games next year with only one P5 school in the mix of the four games. Now Duzz better beat Delaware, but Ohio and UCF will be tough games, based on what I’ve seen from the coaching staff. The psuX game is in creepy valley and could be a toss up.

    Three of the four are at home and are non-P5 teams – that is what I believe I’m reading on the POV as the right approach to scheduling. So, maybe Duzz and Heather are locking arms and attempting to win some games (ikr). The cross-over game is BC at home (I mean Heinz Field), which is a toss up game, IMO.

    There really will be no returning star for 2019 on this FB team. Ffrench is the closest player to being that star, but for some reason, OC Watson and KP don’t include him much – Mo had only 57 touches this season for just over 1,000 all purpose yards. That includes 18 KO returns with two TD’s. He had 8 other TD’s with a mix of receptions and runs. That equals 3 offensive touches for French per game. COME ON MAN! His 10 TD’s averaged over 49 yards each. Q.Henderson had 132 touches in his All-American season when he also had 10 TD’s.

    Per Chris Peak – if you gave Ffrench 132 touches based on his 57 touches, the calculations would equal 23 TD’s and over 2,700 all purpose yards. No wonder Pitt is offensively challenged. That right there is offensive to me…

    1. Watson’s simply never got the ball into the hands of are more dynamic players hands very often. Just look at how poorly Carter was used the last couple of games. Any idiot should have able to figure out some plays besides the jet sweep to take advantage of the kids speed and agility. To say that both Ffrench and Carter(another wasted freshman red shirt) were underutilized this year would be a gross understatement. I guess I also have a problem as to why Narduzzi(the buck stops there) was so passive in allowing our very predictable one dimensional offense game to continue in and game out.

    2. I agree with much of this. M Ffrench certainly warrants more touches. However, for the 2nd half of the season, it was hard to argue with the approach of handing off to the two seniors.

    4. EE — seemed to me that Watson thought he had a big play guy in Shocky. I thought they tried to get Shocky involved early in the season, but it soon became apparent that Shocky was pretty raw.

      I’m hoping that with his experience and a year of maturity, Shocky does give us a weapon.

      Mack, Ffrench, Tipton, and Shocky could be a decent set of wideouts next season. And hopefully one of the other young guys finds himself.

      And, of course, Aaron Mathews becomes a big-play TE… I’ve noticed that in the NFL, many of the so called TEs are more like big WRs who get matched up with smaller DBs — let’s try that…

  35. Pulled this from USA Today – HC Narduzzi’s news source –

    Coaches can use bowl games to pursue landmark win totals (not Pitt this year) and chase incentive bonuses. Young players can utilize the additional practice time to sharpen their skills. Programs can boost their national profile with a bowl victory against a powerhouse brand.

    Players recognize it not only as a series of exhibitions, but as a series of television shows. They need more (than) the bowl gift package and trip to a theme park to convince them to risk their professional careers.

    At this point of the season, no player is 100 percent healthy. But players are willing to dismiss their bumps and bruises in pursuit of a national title. No player at Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma or Notre Dame would consider sitting out of the Playoff. They still have something enticing to chase.

  36. M-ES game was a blowout – but had some interesting things happen.

    Coach Capel asserted himself and the team played (or mostly tried to) a disciplined game – running the shot clock down and working for a good look.

    X-man was passing the rock more than he has, not looking to shoot as much. He has a great passing touch and needs to find the right balance going forward. It is part of the point guard’s job to make the other players better.

    McGowen’s tried to play under control, but that book is still open.

    The whole team was practicing 3’s.

    Now if they can just get Brown to stop dribbling the ball once before he shoots every time he gets in the paint for a bunny… ACC caliber guards are going to eat him up alive for that bad habit.

    Looks like the team learned some lessons from their efforts this season. Nice to see the players (and coaching staff) grow a little more each outing.

    The Pitt players were talking to each other on the court more than I noticed in the past – nice job on the coaching staff’s part to develop/encourage communications during the game – vital to playing team ball. (But gotta get your bench to SIT DOWN during play when the clock is running- cost Pitt at least one possession where the passer targeted a bench player standing up and not the player on the court.)

    Despite a very small student turnout – the Zoo was actually into the game the entire afternoon. Loud and creative and jumping around – they were actually trying to impact the game. A+ This is the makings of the Zoo of the future. Good job.

    Personal pet peeve fan experience downer was addressed – the Pete staff didn’t come get the kids participating in the halftime youth league exhibition game out of the stands until the 8 minute TV timeout – previously they were getting them at 10 minutes while the game was in progress and disrupting the viewing enjoyment of the entire section of paying fans where they were seated. Hats off to the staff for listening to the die hard fans that actually attend most games.

    Best wishes to Peace – you made the right decision young man. Not yet ready for Div 1 hoops.

  61. Let’s not say that Maddox was a great DB at Pitt. He was solid later in his career versus early on. He played much better his senior year because the defensive weaknesses were the other corners and safeties. Easy pickings.

    He competed hard and still does compete hard. If you noticed in the game last night, the Rams went after him three times in a row at the end of the first half because of the size difference. Goff threw high each time, but it was obvious that they were attacking Maddox because he was in man to man cover and the rams had no timeouts left, so it was touchdown or nothing. It was helpful for him being okay to play off the receiver. I am glad they weren’t successful against him.

    Maddox is primarily playing in a two deep which keep him out of man to man cover. That fits his skill set better than being on an island in the narduzzi defense. In a two deep he can rely on his athleticism and his size can be hidden better. He can actually play the ball better because he gets to peak at the qb and respond athletically.

    When he was drafted, his role was to be a nickel or dime db this year but due to injury, he is playing more. I was disappointed when the defense was introduced, he did not get the nod as a starter.

    Like Lafayette Pitts. Real good athlete. Special teams ace. Not a man to man defender. The Rams tried to exploit that.

    Please don’t take this as a knock on either, but man to man is not their gig. They do it better than I do. However, they will make their money with their athleticism, compete level and scheme, not on their one on one defensive skills. I like what Avonte is doing, so don’t beat me up. Just trying to give a different look.If we all said the same thing, there would be no comments!

      Sure, in a different scheme and different position, Maddox might be best suited. But Narduzzi coaches NCAA football, which is different than NFL football. Now you can criticize his recruiting for not getting key positions filled that allow you to play certain players in certain positions, but someone is going to have to give me a more precise breakdown to tell me that Maddox wasn’t good when used by Narduzzi at Pitt but is suddenly good now. He did get 3rd teams All ACC recognition while here.
