UConn-Pitt. Thabeet-Blair. Price-Fields. Robinson-Young. Walker-Dixon. Adrien-Brown. And so it goes.
It’s time for the liveblog.
but SAM IS THE MAN
glad to see we can win a big game without great game from Blair (8&8)
What a great way for our seniors to go out, beating #1 in convincing fashion.
Even when UConn cut the lead by 2, I knew there was no way Calhoun’s boys were getting out of there with the “w”, and I’m usually a very pessimistic fan.
Last time, Bob Knight commented on Pitt’s mental toughness … I expect more of the same
I’m not the kind of Pitt fan that expects to cut down nets every year, but this team has got so many pieces in place. They’ve got the resilience and swagger to make it through a single elimination tournament. You could see that today when the number 1 team in the country came out of the locker room with a 12-0 comeback push and these Panthers just stopped them dead. I can’t wait to see them unleashed in the next weeks.
It has been a pleasure from out here on the West Coast to be a PITT fan.
The game looked great on TV, good to see Jerome Lane at the game, and of course, his “Send it in, Jerome” highlight was shown!
Hail to PITT!
