Twitter Reaction To Pitt’s Comeback Win Over Kansas State
The game started out ugly for Pitt but midway through the first half, things started to click and it continued throughout the second half as Pitt overcame some sloppy play down the stretch to pull out an impressive 63-59 win over Kansas State. A nice win for the Panthers as they improve their record to 5-2.

Under-The-Radar Result Tonight: Pitt over Kansas State in Fort Myers.
Why is it significant?
Been a long time since the Panthers played for ANY type of tournament title.
They will on Tuesday.

Pitt went down 8 points early and I saw at least 4 “PITT die hards” tweet about how bad we suck and the season is over….You know who you are. Please continue riding the ghost of Jamie Dixon while he finishes in 7th place of an average basketball conference

#H2P good win gentlemen. Huge win for the Panthers!! Have to learn how to win games like this.

Since Capel sat Hamilton down two games ago, and told him to be more aggressive, he’s averaged 12.5 ppg, 10.0 rpg, made 9-12 from the floor, and 5-6 from the line. Good talk.

Nice win for Pitt. K-St is almost always an NCAA Tournament team. On a neutral court. And to do it getting nothing from Johnson in the 1st half. Gutsy victory. Need to make up for Nichols loss.

Wow. After completely imploding for a full 2 minutes, Johnson makes huge, clutch play….and free throws.

#Pitt just won a basketball game shooting 1 of 16 from 3-point range. And 21 turnovers. And just two assists. With both X and McGowens fouling out.

These stats are AMAZING. Only in a Pitt game. Wasn’t pretty, but a big win for the Panthers. pic.twitter.com/UWE6JYL7Bg

This game is a perfect example of how important free throws are.

Love Champagnie. Ugly, gutsy, hard fought win. Good on Capel to get them to stick with it despite not playing very well on offense.

Like Capel has emphatically stated, they aren’t going to out talent anyone. Just have to want it more

Pretty tough to win a game shooting 1 of 16 from 3 and with an assist to turnover ratio of 2 to 21, but here were are. Kids deserve a ton of credit for finding a way to win. I think they need to start running more sets on offense going forward, because this is a bad formula.

Nothing pretty. Nothing particularly good to take from it. But it's a win for Pitt over a power conference opponent.

I’m a Pitt fan. In the last 10 years I’ve seen us “lose pretty” WAY too many times.. both Hoops and Football. If any of you want to bitch about winning ugly that’s fine…but I’m going to take this and look forward to tomorrow night. #h2p 🏀🏀

Big time, X. Big time.

Hate to say it but they won using the Ben Howland/Jamie Dixon formula, play better defense than the other guy. It won’t work in the ACC because the ACC/refs (who I thought did a good job tonight) won’t allow it.
Disagree. That is exactly what Virginia does.
