per Marcus:

Rick Pitino sat at the edge of his seat with a nervous, almost frightened in the second half Saturday. His son’s basketball team was barely clinging to a lead in an unbelievable 5-on-3 contest.

Good thing for all the adversity the Pitino family has faced that the Gophers won.

The Hall of Famer and former Louisville coach had a more positive vibe at halftime Saturday when the No. 14 Gophers held a comfortable 12-point lead in what became an 89-84 victory over No. 25 Alabama at the Barclays Center Classic.

“I just root for him every possession,” Pitino said of his son, Gophers coach Richard. “To me, being out of work, I’m living vicariously through him.”

“He’s got a legitimate big-time team, because they don’t have a weakness,” Pitino said. “They play together. They’re humble. They’re really hungry to win.”
