Pitt fouling us like crazy. No calls. Whistles swallowed. Really ugly to watch.

Over the back constantly.

We are responding by chucking threes. Need to aggressively go to hoop. But refs are deciding this early.

Hearing that the refs are swallowing the whistle is the worst excuse in the world. It makes us sound soft.

We are being outplayed simple as that. Thomas was a player that last year made some shots for us, this year he can't buy a bucket for $10000

Nice run. Getting more aggressive. Refs remain a total joke so far.

They make offense look really difficult. They aren't particularly quick, good passers or a good shooting team so possessions are all challenged and a made basket seems like an accomplishment not the norm.

TV doesn't catch the close details ( esp without replay !) but some calls seem a little inconsistent.

You can say we are soft.

But Pitt is playing very aggressive d - and no fouls are getting called. We have zero foul shots. And we’ve quit driving cuz we are getting hammered with no calls. Pippen and Wright and Mann have been smacked. So what do you do? Keep going inside or chuck 3s. Real dilemma.

Given the start a one point game is okay.

Stackhouse deserves credit. His switch on D kept us in the game when we couldn't hit the broad side of a barn

Thomas is so hard to figure. Wonder if he should have his vision checked - seriously, he is off so bad it is brutal.

We shot 40% - and 25% from 3.

Outrebounded them by 2.

Pippen and Wright each have 2 fouls. Pitt as a team had 3 fouls. Big half coming up. Need to step up. Liked the 1-3-1. But I am a zone guy.

One of the refs in this game is named Ted Valentine. Is this the same guy who came out of the wound saying "I hate Vanderbilt"?

QMB is a liability.
