Split emotion, then, was everywhere here.
From WSU’s senior guard Malcolm Armstead, who led his team with 22 points: "You got to leave it all on the floor at the end of the day and play for your teammates and brothers."
From WSU junior forward Cleanthony Early, who scored 21 points: "Play like you want it. Play with passion and heart and things like that. That’s what we tried to do."
From Pitt’s senior guard Tray Woodall, who made 1 of 12 shots, turned the ball over five times, fouled out, and broke down in the postgame: "It’s a bitter taste in my mouth to end my career with one of the worst games I’ve ever played in my history. I’m sorry I let my team down. One of the worst games I’ve ever played."
