Twitter Reaction: Pitt Fights to Get By Georgia Tech

Pitt played a near perfect first half as they led Georgia Tech by 13.

However, the team that played in the first 20 minutes didn’t at all resemble the one that came out in the second half.

The Panthers started the second half flat, sloppy and very tentative offensively which resulted in Georgia Tech taking the lead.

However, Pitt relied on their veterans Greg Elliott, Jamarius Burton and Blake Hinson to pull away with a 89-81 win.

This win in all likelihood clinches a spot in the NCAA Tournament for Pitt.

Not sure how all of this ends with Pitt.

Likely dance.
Might play in and lose Dayton.
Might see Elite Eight.

Regardless, it’s been fun to re-engage with Pitt Hoops Twitter and CARE again.

Walking out of The Pete after the WVU game, NONE of us expected this.#h2p 🏀🏀

I absolutely dread the thought of this dude playing in a Pitt jersey for the last time. Luckily, the way he played today, I don’t think our last game will be for a few weeks. #H2P pic.twitter.com/luKequU7ws

Survive and Advance is the key.

So…

Impressive win and showed heart, depth and man is Burton clutch

We SHOULD be comfortably in

But for Christ’s sake we gave up over 80 again and I just dont get it.

I’ve wanted Duke ever since that game in Cameron. Let’s phuq ‘em up‼️😤 https://t.co/UvJnwMqZ2M

Better turn on selection Sunday. We’re locked in

— Cautiously Optimistic Pitt Fan (@pantherhoops12) March 8, 2023

That should lock Pitt into the NCAAs for the first time since 2016.

Unrelated, Jamarius Burton is going to be working dudes in pick up games at the Y in his 80s.

Good win in the end for Pitt. Did just enough, but they’ll need more against Duke tomorrow

Moneyball Blake H!nson. Big time shot to close it. pic.twitter.com/Boy7p2g8s9

Hinson can suck the whole game and make the biggest shot of the game every time. Clutch gene.
