Rick Pitino talks about why the '96 team isn't being honored at Rupp Arena.
Rick Pitino made an appearance on Terry Meiners' radio program in Louisville. He talked about his 1996 National Championship team and the reunion that the team will hold in Miami this weekend. Pitino did not shy away from questions about his days at Kentucky and the rift that has grown between him and Kentucky fans.
The entire interview is very good and Pitino is very complimentary of his time at Kentucky. He said that he thinks the '96 team was the greatest ever (I happen to agree) and that it would be tough for any modern team to handle their defensive pressure and the blitz of 91.
