It would appear that Rick Pitino REALLY wants to schedule a future series against his old team.
The freshly named head coach of the Iona Gaels has already pitched the idea of taking on Kentucky – but not Lousiville – previously stating back in the middle of March that he “would love to schedule Kentucky in the Garden in the Jimmy V Classic.”
Now, according to CBS Sports Insider Jon Rothstein, Pitino is upping the anty: a home-and-home series against the ‘Cats with Iona hosting in Madison Square Garden and Kentucky hosting in Rupp Arena.
