During a recent New Mexico’s March Madness clash against Michigan State, the cameras were glued to this busty woman who was sitting behind none other than Rick Pitino. I mean, seriously, they couldn’t get enough of her. Every time the camera panned to Rick, you couldn’t help but notice her in the background, stealing the spotlight.
Now, I don’t know if this was intentional or just a lucky coincidence, but let’s just say it got people’s attention. The socials are on fire with reactions and memes.
The unidentified Lobos fan in a red long-sleeve shirt caught the eye of college basketball fans on social media, as CBS showed her, due to getting Pitino on screen, multiple times.
Pitino was at the game to support his son, Richard Pitino, who is the head coach at New Mexico. The elder Pitino made the trip from Providence to Cleveland the day after the Red Storm were eliminated from March Madness by Arkansas on Saturday.
The woman was first shown when CBS first acknowledged the Red Storm’s head coach. She was on camera again heading into commercial, celebrating a Lobo basket by jumping to her feet in slow motion.
While the intention was to show a happy father at his son having success in one of the biggest games of his career, CBS did not mention the woman separately outside of showing her behind Pitino.
‘Didn’t even notice the coach,’ one college basketball fan said on social media.
‘Check those bballs behind him, eh?’ another person stated on X.
‘My god. Who is that behind him?’ a third continued.
‘DONT LOOK BEHIND YOU RICK!!!’ one more fan added, as Pitino has been married to Joanne Minardi since 1976.
So, there you have it, folks. CBS’ cameras were fully focused on this woman in red, let’s call it a “unique sighting,” and it created quite the stir. Whether it was intentional or not, one thing’s for sure – it made for some great entertainment.
