Nationally televised by CBS Sports Network. Comcast Pittsburgh 854; Verizon Fios Pittsburgh 94. DIRECTV (channel 221) carries CBS Sports Network in its Choice Extra package while Dish Network (152) carries CBS Sports Network in its Classic Silver 200 package.

Were you once married to Ricky Ricardo, and do you have red hair?

No, but I'm a hell of a typer and an even better speller.

It's regionally televised, not nationally televised. That's a good thing because we're going to get crushed. But hey, at least we got mentioned during the Arizona rout of Duke on ESPN.

 
It is the national game.

Great. Now the nation gets to see how bad we are after McConnell interview about "stepping up to a higher stage." Great.

Is it true due to Holiday the metered parking is suspended??

Dixon and RE got along very well.  Both were gentlemen and Dixon really liked Ron...he could have crushed us last year but didn't.  I wonder if he will do the same thing this year or will he crush us at the end in honor of RE?

Back in the game...

Well, another year, another embarassing loss. Oh well, it's not like we haven't seen these before.

I have a few positives:

1.  Loved that defenese in the first half. No embarrasing open guys under the hoop, forced Pitt to take outside shots.  That was some solid D.

2.  Nice to see some actual size underneath. I was so sick of our usual 6'8" "big men."

3.  Some good natural young talent on that team.  Those guys can grow together.  I really liked Oko, Ridneour and McCoy and the three point gunner  (White?)  This is my one chance to see them play every year and they didn't disapoint.

4.  Hey, they went up against a team that has Top 20 potential and held them close until the second half when Pitt's depth (and our usual lack of foree throw shooting) made the difference.

5.  They lost by less than 21 points to a team that had beaten everybody, including some Top 25 caliber teams by more than that margin.  No shame there.

I hardly call that embarrasing.

I do not consider this

Wanna look for positives? OK, here's one. No one died.
They lost by 17 points. Collapsed in the second half. You want to find great things from that, fine. I'm not in the mood for that now.

And they did it short handed. 

I am looking forward to seeing this team at full strenght.  Mason will be oiut another three week, but it looks like Watkins will start practice on Monday and may be ready to go next Saturday.  I just wish the NCAA would get off their A$$ and make a decison on Robinson.  Their commercials on how they back student athletes is BS.  They don't give a crap about kids (unless they play for a BCS school), if they did they would realize how they are screwing with a kids life while they keep his case as an unopened file on their desk.  #NCAAsucks

Jay Jones, Ridenour and McKoy played hard. I didn't like Soko standing at the top of the key as Ridenour jacked a three, he seemed to sleep walk in second half(Soko)' and the free throw shooting, no excuse.
And yes it is a shame that the two frosh forward have not played and Mason got a broken hand, and I can see why Jerry Jones is sitting.

Ritter:  I've been the most negative guy on this board at times, admittedly so.  Those first five minutes or so (13-3 Pitt) I was preparing a much different post in my head. (one that went more like  F**K TJ McConnell. F**K Sean Miller..............) and I even told my wife that I was not going to get emotional.  But they fought back, as I said, against a much better team.  Face it the last five or six of these games it was over before the end of the first half. That was not the case today.

You're measuring this team against the worst of the past. I refuse to do that. Moral victories are for losers. This is the one game I want them to play well in and they are now 0-13 and 3-32. Maybe I'll feel differently tomorrow, but not today.
