Rick Pitino wasn’t in the mood for certain questions after St. John’s got bounced from the NCAA Tournament.
St. John’s season came to an end on Saturday with a tough 75-66 loss to No. 10 seed Arkansas. It was a rough night for junior guard RJ Luis Jr., who struggled badly, shooting just 3-for-17 and finishing with nine points.
Things got so shaky that Pitino decided to bench Luis for the final five minutes, even though the team was only down 64-62 at the time.
After the game, a reporter asked Pitino why Luis wasn’t on the floor to close things out. Pitino wasn’t having it.
“You’re asking leading questions,” he shot back. “Don’t ask leading questions. You already know why he didn’t play [at the end of the game].”
Clearly, frustration was high all around.
