Rick Pitino's St. John's basketball squad snapped their three-game losing streak with a 90-85 win at Georgetown on Wednesday, and the coach used his time with the media to apologize for his hot-headed comments following the team's loss last week.
“These guys have never failed me,” Pitino said via The Athletic. “I have failed them with the fundamentals.”
Following the team's loss to Seton Hall on Feb. 18, their eighth in 10 games, Pitino exploded in front of the media, heavily criticizing his coaches, his players (some by name), the facilities and pretty much everything else he could think of.
