John Calipari needs a game on Saturday. Rick Pitino needs a game on Saturday. Why not let the two legendary coaches go head-to-head in Las Vegas?
Just after 2 p.m. ET this afternoon, Pitino took to social media to ask for a new opponent this weekend after Iona’s original game vs. Seton Hall was canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Pirates’ program.
“Short notice, but anyone out there interested in playing us at 3:00 PM on Saturday in the world’s most famous arena???” Pitino asked on Twitter.
Just over one hour later, Kentucky announced its game against Ohio State was canceled due to positive COVID-19 results within the OSU program.
