Message: [QUOTE="sdglast, post: 5226801, member: 9195"] I think he realizes they are his competition for Big East supremacy including both winning and getting players. Pitino is going to be 73 this year, not sure how much longer he will coach (he can certainly coach for several more years but the work that you have to put in will wear him down as he ages), but he knows that to be hailed as the best team in the league, he has to surpass UConn. Pitino is trying to sell St. Johns right now to the media and knows Hurley is their villain. Frankly, it's good for the league, and in the end it's about winning National Championships for me. Lest we not forget, Marquette was a terrific team who won the Big East Championship 2 years ago. They were upstaged by UConn winning the National Championship. [/QUOTE]
