Thanks to an unlikely hero, the hosts secured a 96-73 victory but allowed Quinnipiac to stick around for a little bit longer than the Hall of Famer would’ve hoped.
“Sometimes you get what you deserve,” Pitino said. “We had two of the worst practices this week that we’ve had all season, and I told them, it’s going to bite you in the a— if you practice like that.”
