Jim with some less than subtle shots at Chris Mack here. At least he didn't call him Whiny McBaldwimp again

Richard Pitino said the Gophers’ first-round game against Louisville wasn’t about him and his father.
He was right.
It was about Pitino and his father’s successor at Louisville, Chris Mack.
Pitino thoroughly outcoached Mack on Thursday in a 86-76 victory, Pitino’s first in the NCAA tournament.
Mack had more obvious talent and experience, and the Gophers took Louisville apart on Thursday at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
Louisville trapped? The Gophers routinely beat the defense.
Louisville relies on three-pointers? The Gophers swarmed them beyond the arc.
The Gophers lacked Louisville’s depth? Somehow Pitino’s least-used rotation players made an impact, as players like Michael Hurt and Brock Stull were on the court for important Gopher runs.
---
Late in the game, Mack waited too long to foul, letting the Gophers run down the clock when Louisville should have been desperate to stop the clock.
