Rick Pitino had a brief post-game press conference after Louisville lost to North Carolina in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament. Derek Brightwell of the Louisville Cardinal student newspaper, asked a question and well, Pitino didn’t think it was a good question.
Here’s a transcript via Courier-Journal:
Q. You said you went cold when they switched to zone. That’s been giving you trouble all year. What is it about zone that gives your offense so much trouble?PITINO: Well, you obviously see, if you’re from the Louisville Cardinal, that we’re not a great shooting team so that’s a pretty silly question to ask. You watched the game, didn’t you? So you don’t have to be an X and O genius to figure that one out, do you?
Q. No.
PITINO: Okay.
Well, at least Derek gained four new followers.
Got thrashed by Pitino at the presser, but the @CardChronicle comment section was talking about me. Also picked up 4 followers. #illtakeit
