Pitt’s Blake Hinson taunts Duke fans from atop the scorer’s table after upsetting the No. 7 Blue Devils… as several Cameron Crazies are seen flipping off the Panthers star

Pitt guard Blake Hinson went viral on Saturday night by taunting the Cameron Crazies following his lights-out shooting performance in a 80-76 upset over No. 7 Duke.

Hinson scored 24 points on a perfect 7-of-7 shooting from 3-point range as Pittsburgh won in Cameron Indoor Stadium for the first time since 1979.

In total, Hinson shot 8-of-10 from the floor and collected a team-high eight rebounds as the Panthers (11-7, 2-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped a four-game losing streak against the Blue Devils. Pitt also got 16 points and six assists from Jaland Lowe and 11 points from Ishmael Leggett.

But it was Hinson’s decision to jump on the scoring table to taunt Blue Devils fans is what most will remember from the game. Not only did Hinson elicit jeers from the crowd, but several enraged Duke students were seen flipping off the Panthers star.

‘Good morning,’ The Athletic’s John Hollinger wrote on Twitter while reposting the clip. ‘Today we are all Blake Hinson.’

‘Our guys had poise, they had toughness, we were together, and guys stepped up and made some big time plays,’ said Pitt coach Jeff Capel, himself a former Duke player. ‘We got off to a great start. We weren’t afraid of the moment. We weren’t afraid of the environment. Really proud of our guys for finding a way to win.’

‘I didn’t like our start to begin with. That’s something we have to address,’ Duke coach Jon Scheyer said. ‘I want to apologize to our fans too, by the way.’

In a loss that ended its eight-game win streak, Duke (13-4, 4-2) was powered by Jared McCain’s 20 points. Kyle Filipowski scored 19 points, and Caleb Foster had 16 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Kickstarted by a two-handed dunk from Federiko Federiko, Pitt jumped out to a 21-10 lead. Duke battled back, but it seemed like every time the Blue Devils grabbed the lead, Hinson was there to answer. After the Blue Devils took a one-point advantage on a layup and free throw by Filipowski with 6:35 to play, Hinson responded with his seventh 3-pointer of the game.

When Duke trimmed the deficit to one point with 1:10 to play, Lowe swished a pull-up 3-pointer with Filipowski’s hand in his face. Free throws by Lowe and Hinson with under 10 seconds to play put the game out of reach. After the buzzer sounded, Hinson hopped on the press table to taunt the Cameron Crazies.

‘This is one of the hardest places to win in the nation,’ Hinson said. ‘So, that was just an example of, you climbing Mount Everest and you looking at it from up top and saying, ‘I did it.’ … It’s nothing but respect.’

It was the first time Capel has won as an opposing coach at Duke, where he played from 1993 to 1997 under Mike Krzyzewski.
