Rick Pitino adds Lou Carnesecca twist to UConn arena drama
The St. John’s-Connecticut venue saga has another layer to it.

Our head coach has went on record to say that he wants UCONN at carnesecca arena (which is an awesome idea to definitely eliminate all those uconn fans who flock to the garden and give us a true home court advantage). Well Rick stepped it up and wants it on Carnessecca's 100th birthday. Article states that if any time plays more then 2 home games in different arenas, the big east can determine where game is played. Well cry baby Hurley didnt like this idea.
“They’re trying to do what they need to do to build their program up. But, anyone not named Duke, Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky — I’m probably going to miss a couple of [teams] here — they’re all going for where we’re at. We’ve had unbelievable success here in basketball. There are programs who haven’t been to a Final Four, or haven’t been to the NCAA Tournament in 20 years, so there’s obviously a lot of punching up.”
The comeback of the week from Coach Masiello..... (who i consider an awesome grab as an assistant)
St. John’s associate head coach Steve Masiello tweeted in response: “I think Coach Pitino stopped punching up after his 5th Final 4, or was it his 6th ? no wait. I think it was after his 7th!”
