We never even talked about it because we were very confident it didn't matter who we were going to play.
We were going to get a victory.
Heading to Washington, D.C.,
where you've got four great teams going to compete for an Elite Eight spot, and our guys are ready for it.
But St.
John's responded.
And so instead of us talking about how miserable of a loss it was, how catastrophic this season turned out to be, we are talking about one of the great moments the program has had in 25 years.
It was badass.
Yeah, it reminded me of Lindor's Grand Slam against the Phillies.
Like, sometimes when you do something amazing, and I know Rick Pitino didn't do anything physically, but he is the head coach of St.
John's, and he turned the program around, and he had enough confidence to draw up a play for Dylan Darling because he asked nicely, which is nuts.
But for Pitino, and I agree with you, that was one of my lasting images of that win last night.
For him to just so calmly be like, oh yeah, next one.
Let's walk off.
Let me just wave a little bit.
Let me shake Bill Self's hand and get out of here.
It did remind me of how calm Lindor was when he hit that home run against Estevez and the Phillies.
It was badass.
You're right.
It's a complete badass moment by Rick Pitino.
