Deion Sanders famously said, “If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good.”
That sentiment rang true for Rick Pitino last night against Villanova.

Pitino is now 10-0 following a loss in the last two seasons, and his signature white suit was the cherry on top of a 32-point victory over Villanova.

Villanova head coach Kevin Willard was not as amused by the legendary head coach.

“I’m not bullshitting you, I don’t have hair cause of this guy. It’s the most miserable experience in life. You fear for your life… And as he’s gotten older, he’s probably become more of a cranky old bitch”

With the NCAA Tournament looming, maybe it’s time for Pitino to fully commit to the white suits exclusively.
