Right after St. John’s beat Kansas thanks to a buzzer beater from Dylan Darling in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday, Red Storm coach Rick Pitino brought up a well-known moment in which he was on the losing side of a clutch buzzer beater. Remember “The Shot” from Duke’s Christian Laettner against Kentucky in the 1992 tournament? Pitino will never forget it.
Pitino somewhat joked that he hopes to get revenge on Duke on Friday when St. John’s face the Blue Devils in the Sweet 16. Maybe his team will get a buzzer beater to win the game in the end.
