St. John’s Red Storm coach Rick Pitino was irate with his team after their defeat against the Seton Hall Pirates on Sunday evening, which saw the university drop to 14-12 on the year and significantly dampened their chances of reaching the NCAA Tournament.
After the 68–62 loss, Pitino sounded off on St. John’s players, lamenting them for being “weak” and calling his first year with the program “the most unenjoyable experience of my lifetime.”
Pitino was critical of the Red Storm’s recruitment process, describing his current crop of players as being the “antithesis” of his coaching style and saying they lacked toughness.
