Tray Woodall Initially Unsure About CBI Tournament

The CBI is over, but won't be soon forgotten. Point guard Tray Woodall had a really interesting comment about his initial thoughts in playing in the tournament.

Star-divide

Initially, Woodall was highly skeptical:

"I'll be completely honest. When I first heard about this [CBI] tournament, I thought it would be a lose-lose situation," Woodall said. "We're Pitt, we're not supposed to be in tournaments like this. We looked at this that we wanted to keep getting better."

The 'lose-lose' mentality was essentially what I said in the beginning. When it was first announced Pitt would play in the tournament, it was said that the players wanted to keep playing. I'd be interested in knowing which players came out on which side - and where they stand now.

After winning the event, it's probably safe to assume that some perceptions have changed among the players. Mine hasn't, but then again, mine doesn't matter nearly as much. Like I said in the recap, kudos to the players for showing up to play in the postseason.

the cbi isnt the destination anyone had in mind at the beginning of the season

but the fact that these guys stuck together and played some good ball bodes well for next year. i also like the fact the jamie was not done coaching these guys yet this season. he used the only oppurtunity he had available to him at the time to keep coaching these guys to help the team get better and that speaks volumes to me. it would have been much easier for him to wash his hands of this season and take an early break. but instead of waving the white flag (which we as fans had done months ago) he choose to keep fighting. that is the spirit of a winner-when the chips are down do you hang your head and give up or do you knuckle up and fight back? i’m proud to say our guys kept fighting. go pitt.
