Quote sheet from the game. Strangely nothing from Louisville right now.
Quoting Pitt Head Coach Jamie Dixon, On Nasir Robinson:
“I love that kid. I remember recruiting him. You find things wrong with him but he plays so hard and just keeps getting better. He brings energy, is positive, and works hard. He played well against UConn. His numbers weren’t big, but his energy and his positive attitude were. He’s finding his role on the team. He’s a good kid and I’m proud of him.”
…
On the atmosphere:“It was tremendous. I always say don’t take crowds for granted. It’s easy to root for an unselfish team like ours. They are tremendous and always are. We have a special place at the Peterson Events Center.

Quoting Pitt’s Nasir Robinson, On his play:“Once I got my first bucket, I got into a grove and just kept rolling. I’ve been working on my free throws and I was able to concentrate more and make more of them.”
Quoting Pitt’s Brad Wanamaker, On his final free throws of regulation:
“By far, those were the hardest free throws I’ve had to make. The guys just told me to relax and imagine it was practice and there was no one around. I did and I hit both of them.”
On his key three point shot:
“Coach designed a play during the time out and it worked. They thought Ashton was the shooter and they followed him and left me open. Jermaine got me the ball and I made the shot.”
31 straight at home.
At the start of conference play, most of us hoped Pitt could go 3-3 over the first 6 games. Now, when the time comes that Pitt loses it will feel like a disappointment. Awesome.
