Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 4849267, member: 563"] Pitino's comments about Hurley are pretty interesting (and they are about Hurley). If I were to guess it is actually geared more towards the fans. First, he implies (truthfully) that SJU wants to play UConn not at MSG basically because their fans won't own that venue. This is trying to get the fans to come and pack the Garden when SJU and UConn play next. Second he has seen Hurley interacting with the crowd and now he is basically telling his fans to get to Hurley because he won't. A little nod to the refs also in an attempt to influence them, basically saying, "Even if I complain, I won't be jumping around acting crazy and if I do it's because the call was particularly bad."
