Pittsburgh's on fire!

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

This city is on fire! It's so exciting to be in Pittsburgh right now. We have won six games in a row, our men's team is playing really well and the Steelers just won the Super Bowl! Nothing is bigger than that, especially around here!

The Steelers winning was so much fun. Our team has had a lot of fun with it and it is cool to see everyone react to how crazy things have been. Our team got to celebrate with all the Pitt students after they won, but we knew we couldn't stay out late -- we had business to take care of on Tuesday!

We feel like Notre Dame has become one of our biggest rivalries so we always get excited for that game. It was a great feeling to score my 2,000th point against them, but I owe all the credit to my coaches and especially my teammates. They make all of that possible.

All the excitement from beating Notre Dame is over though because we have two tough road games coming up at Rutgers and Connecticut. We can't allow ourselves to stay excited for too long. I'm not to worried about that though because we are all so excited to play Rutgers.

We always look at the Big East standings after our games to see where we need to be. We want to be one of those top seeds that gets a two-day bye in the tournament. We know that it is going to be a dog fight in the Big East and we will have to do whatever it takes to get those wins. Every team is good and even teams that were picked towards the bottom in the preseason are doing well. Villanova was picked 10th before the season and they are fourth! So we can't take any game off.

That's all for now... see you next week!
