Pitino vs Calipari was so much more than a basketball game

Rick Pitino's #2 seed St. John's Red Storm was expected to run right toward the Final Four the weekend after next.One problem. John Calipari's unheralded Arkansas Razorbacks somehow beat Kansas and earned a matchup with Pitino's Johnnies.Cal & Rick. No love. No mercy. No harm. No foul.Incredible drama on many levels beyond basketball.Arkansas advances to the Sweet 16. St. John's comes to a screeching halt, but with an NIL package that should restock the roster for next year.Stay tuned.
