Rick Pitino reacts after St. John’s win against UConn

Rick Pitino was in high spirits as he addressed the media during his postgame press conference. His team had just secured a win over the UConn Huskies, and Pitino cracked a joke.

As he reflected on his team's impressive performance, the coach was asked if he had predicted such a strong start to the season.

"I would've said how the f*** did we lose that one game?" Pitino said.

The St John's Red Storm (21-3, 12-1) maintained their top spot in the Big East. They will aim to extend their streak when they face Villanova Wildcats on Wednesday.
