“This is a year of firsts for this Pittsburgh team. Our motto has been all year, 'Why not Pitt?' We came here to win. I talked to my team before the game and used reverse psychology by telling them Pitt had been to the Big East tournament before and Cincinnati, which is new to the conference this year, hadn't been here before. So they thought 'We' had been here before and they were right. 'We' as in 'Pitt' were before.”

“No it's not Brad Pitt and no it's not Angelina Jolie,”

“It was coach Holtz's last year at Notre Dame. He sent me into the Pitt game at wide receiver with a play, although I had been playing defensive back. (Coach Bob) Davie came in the next year, and I never got into another game. But I consider myself fortunate for having that one opportunity.”
Phil Sicuso
“Pitt is a neck-up team, in that they 'think' when they are on the court, and they put themselves in a position to win. They are having fun, and they work hard. There is an aura about them. You can just feel it when you are around them.”
Laurie Pirtle
“I think that Pitt should not be in that job,”
Nancy Pelosi
“Coach Howland was the first player ever to recruit me. My sophomore year when he was still at Pitt, I remember him being in the office at my school and saying one day he would recruit me. It's crazy now we are playing him in the national championship.”
