Twitter Reaction To Pitt’s Opening Night Slaughtering of NC A&T

It’s only one game and it was against a bad opponent, but the bottom line is that the Pitt men’s basketball team got their fan base very excited tonight.

The Panthers didn’t play down to their opposition, instead showed athleticism, quickness and scoring ability that we haven’t seen in many years.

It would be unfair to focus on just one player because every single player on the roster showed something, but everyone will be talking about freshman point guard Carlton Carrington, who finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

It goes without saying, fans are very excited for the 2023-24 Pitt Panthers.

The thing I love the most from this game (besides Bub) is the balance in scoring. 1-9 all had their moments

Really wanna see another fun Pitt basketball season. I think the potential is there. Last year was the first time in a long time I rekindled my love for college hoops. And I have the Panthers to thank for that.

Fellow Pitt fans – run don't walk to the Pete this year. This is going to be a fun team to watch, and they can be very good. Time to turn out like the Zoo has. H2P! Let's go Pitt! pic.twitter.com/3RVn1NFKIc

This debut from Carrington is one of the more impressive I’ve seen.

I’m not sure where to start with how this team has looked. They can shoot it, they have size and they have guys that can get to the basket. If there was something I’d like to see it would be an inside presence to bail them out when shots aren’t falling, but still…they look good.
