Rick Pitino is back in college basketball and the spotlight of Madison Square Garden! After a tumultuous few years, the legendary coach has returned to the sidelines at St. John’s University.
Pitino, who has won two NCAA championships and been to seven Final Fours, is no stranger to success. He was the head coach at Louisville for 16 years, leading them to an NCAA title in 2013. However, he was fired in 2017 after an FBI investigation into corruption in college basketball.
Now, Pitino is back and ready to make his mark on the college game. He takes over a St. John’s program that has struggled in recent years, but he has high expectations for the team. He believes that the team can compete for a Big East title and make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
The spotlight of Madison Square Garden will be on Pitino and St. John’s this season. The Red Storm will play their home games at the iconic arena, and Pitino will be looking to prove that he still has what it takes to be successful in college basketball.
It will be interesting to see how Pitino fares in his return to college basketball. He has a lot of talent on the roster and he is determined to bring success back to St. John’s. With the spotlight of Madison Square Garden on him, it will be exciting to see how he does this season.
