Rick Pitino to Kentucky: ‘If you need an opponent Saturday, we travel’

Iona head coach Rick Pitino laid out a challenge to the Kentucky Wildcats this afternoon.

The former Kentucky and Louisville head coach publicly stated on Twitter:

Pitino’s Iona team was originally scheduled to played No. 16 Seton Hall at Madison Square Garden this weekend but the Pirates are out due to COVID-19.

Kentucky is scrambling to find an opponent in Las Vegas because the virus forced Ohio State to drop out of the CBS Sports Classic.
