i wouldn’t go that far. you could audibly hear several of their players whining - particularly rivers and ewing in the 2nd half. hibbert is a no class player (the game at the petersen earlier in the year and tonight’s class-less display). but it’s alright - his game is hideous and he will never contribute to a successful nba team. ever. congratulations to a great pittsburgh team.

Just getting up and sobering up after reliving the game in my sleep all night.

*Thought Dixon’s TO late second half after a GT breakaway and slam that cut the lead to 4 was huge. There is no way to learn game coaching but doing it. JD much improved in that area.

Brown and Biggs both unsung heroes..

* Getty pics are awesome…thank you Chas.

Georgetown’s coaches have always been reasonable when it comes to their opponents. I believe John Thompson learned that from his Father.

I think that people outside of the PITT fan circle, and maybe many inside of it, fail to realize what a masterful job Dixon did over the course of the season. With the injuries to Fields and Cook Dixon was counselled on many occasions to “play it safe and get ready for next season”. He obviously didn’t do that, and IMO the reason was that he felt he owed it to the seniors on the team to give it his best shot.

A very telling quote from Dixon post-game last night was “I could watch these kids celebrate all night, and I can’t wait for our next practice”. No mention of his hard work, or of the tough things he had to deal with, no tooting his own horn (and he would have been justified to do so) just all about the kids and the team.

Ha! They’ll be quiet til his next loss, then it’ll be “average” this, “mediocre” that. There is no winning with retard fans until you win a national championship EVERY YEAR.

What a celebration at the Garden! Hundreds on the court being so, so proud of their team and our team embracing its fans. Iwas there for the Rangers in 94 and this rivals it.

Great to see so many Blather and Rivals contributors at the game and to see their smiling faces.

A special hi to Tony.

HAIL TO PITT!

I was going to point out what rwill said…Hibbert walked off like a little bitch again.

Blair owns that ass. “And i got a watch!”
