Rick Pitino's Louisville blew out Savannah State last night, 87-26. Rick Pitino, however, went deep into his bag of tricks to (unsuccessfully) avoid humiliating his team's opponent:
"This will be the first time since I've been at Louisville that I will not watch the game film," Pitino said. "You get nothing out of this. You feel bad for the other team."
Yes, but just how merciful of an overlord is Rick Pitino?
"I don't like to see any team struggle like that. I really don't," he said at the conclusion of his post-game press conference.
"I tried everything. We played four white guys and an Egyptian."
Merciful, indeed.
