GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Pittsburgh

[Charleston Pony]

Scary sight: Yiğitoğlu hits the deck without contact. Stays on his back for a moment, athletic trainer comes out — looks at his right ankle for a moment and helps him up. Yiğitoğlu limps off, heads to stationary bike beside bleachers

Looked like friendly fire as he and Boopie got tripped up

Yiğitoğlu is back to bench, pointing to his right ankle while talking to teammates.

Looks uncomfortable, but doesn't appear be in excruciating pain.

Pitt's Corhen and GDG and SMU's Colbert all have 4 fouls

Oquendo lifts SMU to 10/19 from 3-point range

SMU leads 78-57

Samet gets his double double in front of 2 NBA GMs

Maybe — Dunleavy is still in his seat, but if Harrison is still here, he has moved to another seat.

Oddity stat: Pitt has taken 64 shots vs SMU's 48 but trails by 21 points

[PonyPride]

Colbert has to be separated from Pitt's Corhen with 1:36 to go.
Colbert immediately replaced by A.J. George

Just keep Harrison away from Enfield. I don’t want our coach getting any bad personnel ideas.

Impressive win, and I think the Louisville beat down was just what the doctor ordered for this team. When they play [deleted] defense and move the ball on offense this is a tough team. Really didn’t expect a blowout but I sure enjoyed it. Beat Wake Saturday and they will be in the driver’s seat for a 4th place finish in conference.

The students were great last night, but I was disappointed in the overall attendance. Saturday needs to be packed and LOUD!

I think the 8pm start times are hurting attendance. This is all because of the ACC Network, wanting to do 2 to 3 games a night on basketball nights. The east coast teams get the 6:00pm start, SMU gets the 8pm start, and Cal/Stanford gets the 10:pm start. Hopefully the fans will get accustomed to this since it is a good thing these are televised. I would much rather prefer a 6 or 7pm start but understand it is part of the ACC's television philosphy.
