Rick Pitino was complimentary of Nate Oats and Alabama basketball in the postgame following the Crimson Tide's win over St. John's at Madison Square Garden.
Alabama basketball brought the fight to Madison Square Garden on Saturday, knocking off St. John's 103-96 to earn a major early-season victory over a top-five opponent on the road.
While St. John's head coach Rick Pitino wasn't pleased with his team's defensive performance overall, he couldn't help but tip his cap to Nate Oats and Alabama basketball.
