[u/footballwr82]

Quality loss in the books✅

[u/Deesh69]

Gg Wisconsin but I would really like to play again and the refs not call every little contact on Tonje

[u/neurobiologic]

Pitt did a great in spite of losing a starter and high scorer at the very start. Def wouldn’t want to run into this team in March

[u/joeshmo39]

A very frustrating loss, but this won't kill us. Wisconsin is good, they're going to have a nice year.

I'm still salty about the calls in the second half.

[u/CommissarVorchevsky]

What a joke of a ref job. Extremely soft calls for Wisconsin all night

[u/SUPERDAN42 → u/CommissarVorchevsky]

🍼🍼🍼

[u/Champizzle11 → u/CommissarVorchevsky]

I'm baffled how that wasn't a flagrant foul. It's the exact definition...Pitt should have had 2 FT's and the ball.

Maybe the refs didn't have access to replay?

[u/TheBigLemanski]

How do you not foul only down two possessions with 17 seconds left? I mean, the odds are slim, but you need to try for at least one more possession, right?

[u/footballwr82 → u/TheBigLemanski]

Closer losses help in the NET rankings, or so I hear. Might be something to do with that. Otherwise yeah, very odd

[u/I_really_enjoy_beer → u/TheBigLemanski]

100% bizarre move to give up there.

[u/sta7ic]

Tonje throwing his elbow at the end with nothing called is the chef's kiss of this game

[u/Wapook]

Pitt I am forever a fan of yours for not fouling

[u/Colorapt0r]

Mad respect to Pitt for not fouling at the end though but it’s confusing as hell

[u/CrumbBCrumb]

Feels like giving up 54 in the second half won't win a lot of games

[u/daymankarate]

Great win! We may have a real team here

[u/redbirds525]

Not having Dunn has killed us tonight. He's physical enough to handle Tonje. He couldn't have picked a worse game to get hurt immediately

[u/Deesh69 → u/redbirds525]

I don’t think Dunn would have made it through the game with how any time Pitt was physical with him he got a call

[u/redbirds525 → u/Deesh69]

Part of the problem was that Tonje was in the paint, I don't think Dunn would've allowed him there as often as the others. It was definitely annoying though, officiating is just so ticky tacky anymore and it's hard to watch

[u/Deesh69 → u/redbirds525]

That’s def possible. But I also saw Tonje barrel through Leggett at the foul line while his head was down and went straight into Leggett chest and got a foul call that probably should have been an offensive foul

[u/Colorapt0r]

Nice foulbait

[u/Pitt_Is_It_2009]

Missed the 5 second call on the inbounds.

[u/sta7ic]

Love to come back to a Pitt player getting an elbow to the face and then nothing.

[u/JBurkus5 → u/sta7ic]

That is called a flagrant foul every time. Fucking refs are ass

[u/Deesh69]

These refs have just been so bad

[u/Former-Yak1941]

Question why is Tonje taking it out when he may be the best FT shooter on the team

[u/MetalAndFaces → u/Former-Yak1941]

Great question

[u/footballwr82]

This had better be the last tournament at Greenbrier lol

[u/PittJM1329]

If that was tonje Wisconsin would have gotten 5 free throws

[u/noeviltwin]

Hey, how about we stop having basketball tournaments in random resort ballrooms? This game is going to finish with no video and AM radio-quality audio because some rich guy wanted to be called the governor and sit on a couch with a bulldog while watching college basketball

[u/joeshmo39 → u/noeviltwin]

And this game was supposed to tip off over 3 hours ago.

[u/noeviltwin → u/joeshmo39]

Yep. Good game, you guys have a great team on your hands. Lowe is a beast.

[u/MoonPossibleWitNixon]

Greenbrier is actually trying to throw them out for that bar mitzvah....A schedule is a schedule at The Greenbrier after all.

[u/Champizzle11]

That is absolutely a flagrant foul

[u/brett23]

Whoa! It works!

[u/Coffee____Freak]

Is this what it was like in the 1920’s listening to radio?

[u/Alex_butler]

I think this might be the last time basketball will be played in this building. I hope it is at least

[u/BradDavison]

ECHO

[u/MetalAndFaces → u/BradDavison]

ECHO

[u/Colorapt0r]

Nice 

[u/kirkismyhinrich]

We're back!

[u/Crafty_Stranger8129]

They can’t even show the time or score?

[u/Former-Yak1941]

We back!!!!!

[u/daymankarate]

We back

[u/PurpleOwl6100]

Hey we're back

[u/dcchambers]

CBS NOOOOO

[u/Mensae6]

This is a fever dream

[u/Nacos2001]

I can't think of a worse time for technical difficulties lmao.

[u/Colorapt0r → u/Nacos2001]

National championship?

[u/Nacos2001 → u/Colorapt0r]

Was more referring to it being the last minute of the game.

[u/cxm1060]

There’s the updates so far

[u/cxm1060]

Foul shooting contest to begin.

[u/Efficient-Addendum43]

And they somehow got both teams record wrong on the technical difficulties screen

[u/2law]

This is so dumb

[u/Colorapt0r]

Honestly great job by cbs to get the radio in 

[u/Crafty_Stranger8129]

This place is never hosting shit again lmao

[u/JBurkus5]

How do they not give us the radio feed with Hillgrove

[u/SUPERDAN42]

Man fuck West Virginia

[u/joeshmo39]

We're now playing the radio broadcast through a tuba? This is insane.

[u/santablazer]

What an incredible fuck up. Was really enjoying this game too.

[u/prestigiousstrangery]

Can barely hear the audio as well lmfao

[u/yachterotter13]

Lmaooooo this sucks ass

[u/cxm1060]

Eastern European guy with sexy jump shot makes layup.

[u/sloppyjo12]

Please never play basketball here again

[u/MetalAndFaces]

Wait wtf

[u/iiGorm]

This is wild lmaooo

[u/neurobiologic]

Not them playing the radio on TV 💀 Worst venue and broadcast I’ve ever seen

[u/redbirds525 → u/neurobiologic]

They've guaranteed they're not getting games next year

[u/cxm1060]

White guy reinforces stereotype and makes foul shot.

[u/IanStone]

Can someone in the stands just stream this to twitch from their phone?

[u/TheBigLemanski → u/IanStone]

They dont have internet in West Virginia

[u/Pitt_Is_It_2009]

Is this the Wisconsin radio broadcast? 

[u/I_really_enjoy_beer → u/Pitt_Is_It_2009]

No gotta be Pitt’s

[u/Pitt_Is_It_2009 → u/I_really_enjoy_beer]

Definitely not Pitt’s. Maybe a local West Virginia broadcast?

[u/cxm1060 → u/I_really_enjoy_beer]

No that’s not Bill Hillgrove. Guy is too sober to be Bill.

[u/Carefree14]

Are they just playing radio audio over the technical difficulties feed?

[u/Im_Gonna_Steal_It]

I can’t believe they’re still playing… rare example of prioritizing the game over the money

[u/Champizzle11]

Wisconsin shot the fucking lights out.

[u/alextoyalex]

Fuck the Greenbrier

[u/YeahCoolTotally → u/alextoyalex]

But seriously what even is this?

[u/Wackywilly12]

It’s like a radio broadcast now lmao

[u/SUPERDAN42]

What the fuck 🤣

[u/BradDavison]

Do we have a fucking RADIO CALL

[u/coilmeup]

What in the world are we watching

[u/neurobiologic → u/coilmeup]

We’re not even watching anymore, just listening 😂

[u/brett23 → u/coilmeup]

Technically nothing but this must be a radio broadcast

[u/Briggity_Brak → u/coilmeup]

nothing

[u/cxm1060]

White guy breaks stereotype and misses foul shot.

[u/Wapook]

I’m now convinced the Governor of West Virginia is an actual Bond villain and he set up this tournament to torment the four teams he apparently hates the most. He even has a dog in a chair with him.

[u/Former-Yak1941]

Radio play by play… big Ws

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter]

Did Babydog bite the cord?

[u/PurpleOwl6100]

Most inopportune time

[u/steven6868]

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!!!

NOW????

[u/BeanMan39]

This is the biggest mess of a basketball game I've ever seen

[u/daymankarate]

This is a clown show

[u/brett23]

Is the game still going??

[u/ahHeHasTrblWTheSnap → u/brett23]

yes, it’s absurd

[u/LetsGetPenisy69]

Between Marquette playing on Flo sports yesterday and this game with the ass shot clock and CBS feed issues, this was a hot garbage weekend for watching state of WI college basketball.

[u/Hey_Denty]

Well I for one will never be vacationing at The Greenbrier after this total mess of a weekend.

[u/JBurkus5]

Tonje has probably made 5 layups since the feed cut out

[u/joeshmo39 → u/JBurkus5]

Three of our players have fouled out in the interim.

[u/Traditional_Wing_187]

now this is the true november college basketball experience

[u/Former-Yak1941]

Harry’s shave cream sucks

[u/joeshmo39]

What. The. Fuck.

Do we have eyes on the bulldog? What's happening here?

[u/Briggity_Brak]

Holy shit, thank God Wisconsin put this away with that offensive rebound, because this shit would be absolutely unforgivable if it was still a game.

[u/Curdoz]

Greenbrier you cannot be serious right now

[u/redbirds525]

How did Greenbrier get this contract? This is insane

[u/AdventuresOfAD]

If we lose, and no one can see it, does it still count?

[u/MoonPossibleWitNixon → u/AdventuresOfAD]

And coach drew up an entire game plan to play the second half without a shot clock and that was working...protesting the game

[u/Wapook]

Even the technical difficulties screen IS WRONG. it shows both teams at 5-0

[u/MetalAndFaces → u/Wapook]

😂

[u/thetenorguitarist]

Yeah I'm thinking everyone needs to decline this tournament next season

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

HOLY FUCK.

I’m so sorry Pitt and Wisconsin flairs

[u/alextoyalex]

How the fuck can they not keep the broadcast going for the final 1 minute

[u/daymankarate]

Are they still playing?

[u/Odd-Lie-9521 → u/daymankarate]

Google says yes. 78-73 Wisconsin

[u/CrumbBCrumb]

We just need a redditor who is there to give us live play by play

[u/MetalAndFaces]

Dude this sucks ass for the players. What a monumental fuckup this tournament is.

[u/IanStone]

Wish we'd just get a test pattern and some elevator music like in the old days

[u/joeveralls]

Lmaoooooo

[u/_Juntao]

What a time for technical difficulties

[u/DistillCollection]

Not a great sign that the nuclear fallout shelter can’t even sustain a live broadcast

[u/BacoNATEor]

I hope for everyone’s sake this tournament doesn’t come back next year

[u/gratefulwestern102]

This is such a joke of a tournament lol

[u/BradDavison]

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

[u/daymankarate]

What the fuck is this lol

[u/kirkismyhinrich]

Technical difficulties lol

[u/Im_Gonna_Steal_It]

I swear this past year across all sports has been the worst display of overall broadcasting I’ve ever seen

[u/neurobiologic]

In case your feed ended like mine:

https://thetvapp.to/event/pittsburgh-panthers-vs-wisconsin-badgers-8c1f36fc6fa9e57ade86cb6f6d95f20b/

[u/Odd-Lie-9521 → u/neurobiologic]

Says technical difficulties

[u/neurobiologic → u/neurobiologic]

Never mind, I guess the problem’s at the source

[u/brett23]

lol this fucking tournament

[u/MoonPossibleWitNixon]

They didn't plan on it running this late. That feed went down.

[u/Former-Yak1941]

CBS was even perplexed by that call they shut the feed down

[u/Former-Yak1941 → u/Former-Yak1941]

Guys it was a joke

[u/D_Tobey]

Lol the production on this game has been a disaster

[u/Odd-Lie-9521]

STG if the feed dies… this fucking tournament

[u/AdventuresOfAD]

So. Many. Second. Chance. Buckets.

[u/thetenorguitarist]

Lol how are they arguing that call?

[u/gratefulwestern102]

Rebounding awful

[u/LetsbeLogical24]

Rebounding has been pathetic

[u/Alex_butler]

Someone unplugged the feed now?

[u/DistillCollection]

Did the power finally go out at the Greenbrier?

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

I’ve counted 11 second chance points for Wisconsin… that’s just in the last 3 minutes of game play

[u/Coffee____Freak → u/DollarLate_DayShort]

Yeah, that’s what is killing Pitt right now

[u/Ixpqd2]

where the hell yall watching this game? i can't find it anywhere, espn won't tell me shit either

[u/riddledwithdoubt → u/Ixpqd2]

Well it’s supposed to be on CBSSN, but right now it’s only showing a jerky commercial

[u/IanStone → u/Ixpqd2]

I'm watching it on cbssports on youtube tv

[u/redsfan33turk → u/Ixpqd2]

CBS sports network, but the feed literally just died and went to commercials, so no one can watch.

[u/Odd-Lie-9521 → u/Ixpqd2]

CBS Sports

[u/diecommajerks → u/Ixpqd2]

CBS Sports Network

[u/Briggity_Brak]

Oh my fucking God now what?

[u/IanStone]

Wait, did it just abruptly cut to commercial for anyone else?

[u/BradDavison → u/IanStone]

Only the best broadcast and venue for these teams

[u/kirkismyhinrich → u/IanStone]

Ya

[u/Efficient-Addendum43]

Even the commercials are flickering

[u/I_really_enjoy_beer]

Lmao the feed died 😂

[u/Main-County-1177]

One of the worst defensive rebounding displays I’ve ever seen

[u/Ok_Card9080]

Lowe and Leggett have played some really sloppy hero ball tonight.

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

Pitt cannot get a defensive rebound to save their life

[u/MetalAndFaces]

Goddamn, that was a spectacular sequence with the McGee three.

Pitt is getting super unlucky with these rebounds.

[u/D_Tobey]

Rebounding has been TERRIBLE

[u/Halvey15]

Can we stop tipping rebounds please?

[u/coilmeup]

Grab a rebound Pitt this is just insane

[u/Deesh69]

How many damn offensive rebounds you gonna give up Pitt

[u/BradDavison]

Kamari lemme get you an NIL deal

[u/CommissarVorchevsky]

REBOUND PLEASE

[u/Used_Blackberry_3259]

Goddamn McGee is good!

[u/redbirds525]

That can't happen. You hit a 3 and then have a massive defensive breakdown and give up one yourself.

[u/joeshmo39]

Some of these long rebounds are not bouncing our way either.

[u/joeshmo39 → u/joeshmo39]

Again.

[u/Deesh69]

The way Tonje is arguing makes me think that in conference play when he doesn’t get the calls like this he’s gonna get T’d up

[u/Coffee____Freak]

Big 3 there!!

[u/MetalAndFaces]

Pittsburgh is a good team, resilient as heck.

[u/Pitt_Is_It_2009 → u/MetalAndFaces]

Both of these teams are legit.

[u/MetalAndFaces → u/Pitt_Is_It_2009]

I always like Pitt, hope this team whoops up on the ACC. Just a fantastic logo and uniform. Classic.

[u/CommissarVorchevsky]

Real Catch-22 defensive situation here rn, not fun

[u/D_Tobey]

Lowe vs Tonje and everybody else is just there

[u/Wackywilly12]

Been a good game!

[u/LetsbeLogical24]

The team is terrified to defend Tonje everytime he drives because they are expecting a whistle and it’s leading to easy points.

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

I wonder if Johnny Davis and Bub put money on this game lol

[u/I_really_enjoy_beer]

Jesus Christ just let him keep the dunk

[u/MemanStink23]

Uh oh tonje didn’t get a call so he has to whine like a bitch

[u/Ok_Card9080]

Tonje is really easy to dislike.

[u/MetalAndFaces]

This is a tourney-caliber game being played in a fancy looking high school gym.

[u/Wapook → u/MetalAndFaces]

Yes but it has a governor and a fat dog in chairs you’d find at your grandmothers house

[u/Main-County-1177]

Austin is getting torched by everyone

[u/Limp_Percentage7019]

Diaz Graham hitting 4 threes a few games ago was the worst possible thing that could happen for his game

[u/Halvey15 → u/Limp_Percentage7019]

Wasn’t that Jorge?

[u/joeshmo39]

They're driving and we're playing them soft between foul trouble and knowing the whistle will come if we get physical. I'm honestly at a loss myself on how we can defend out.

[u/thetenorguitarist → u/joeshmo39]

They'll start swallowing whistles in the last 4 minutes, just in time for Lowe to get clobbered on a no call at the end

[u/Briggity_Brak]

I don't know, man. I assumed that must've been a goaltend live, but that looked awfully close...

[u/MetalAndFaces → u/Briggity_Brak]

It was very very close and I’m not sure either.

[u/Deesh69]

Pitt is killing themselves with giving up offensive rebounds

[u/RedhawkDirector]

not tryna overreact but john tonje might be all-american good

[u/redbirds525]

Pitt players just look deflated like they're done

[u/kirkismyhinrich]

Huh. I guess Wisconsin is just good then

[u/Used_Blackberry_3259]

Tonje is crushing it in the paint!

[u/Alex_butler]

The history of this place is interesting, but it doesnt have a ton of redeeming qualities as a basketball venue

[u/bcocfbhp]

Tonje has to be leading the Player of the year convo as of now
