Rick Pitino Dropped The Best One-Liner In Post-Game Interview History
Louisville’s basketball program is good. Really good. It was no surprise when they rolled hapless Savannah State on Monday night to the tune of 87-26. I didn’t watch the game, but from the looks of the box score, it wasn’t pretty for the visiting Tigers. It was so bad that Rick Pitino put four white guys in. At the same time.
The highlight of the night didn’t come from any dunk, no-look pass or block. No, the highlight of the night came from the post-game interview with Rick Pitino. He was asked whether he hated seeing a team struggle the way Savannah State did, and he gave this gem of an answer:
You know things are going well when you can throw an Egyptian and four gym rats on the court and maintain a stranglehold on your enormous lead..
The only thing surprising here is that Louisville is actually rostering 4 white guys on their tree hockey team.

11 years ago at 12:30 pmI don’t know why “tree hockey” made me laugh so hard, but I’m also going to pocket that one for the future.
11 years ago at 1:50 pmHilarious quote. Shame the media will likely take it out of proportion.
11 years ago at 11:56 amI’m offended. Probably going to riot and loot a McDonald’s, liquor store, and weave shop.
11 years ago at 11:57 amI am a white guy and I found this extremely offensive. You can catch me on CNN burning buildings down and looting liquor stores.

11 years ago at 12:00 pmAnd you wouldn’t loot the liquor store? teenagers probably didn’t give a shit about mike brown, they just wanted free liquor.
11 years ago at 3:35 pmNo I wouldn’t because Monday is 50 cent draft night at the bar. Also I didn’t drop out of high school and have better things to do.
11 years ago at 11:21 pmFuckin pricks: the Total Ferguson Move has nothing to do with why white people suck at basketball
11 years ago at 1:21 pmWatching liberals heads explode in 3…2…1…
11 years ago at 11:58 amIn ZAX brother!
11 years ago at 12:39 pmRick Pitino is a Lambda Chi. No doubt he’s FAF.
11 years ago at 1:47 pmHey, you don’t say.
11 years ago at 12:06 amThis is great, however imagine if the tables were turned. Say a coach in (stereotypical white sport- golf, swimming, etc.) says after dominating another team, “We did everything we could. We played 4 black guys and an Indian.” Now, I’m not about to burn down the local establishment that offers my community delicious $5 hot n ready pizza, and what the coach said is sadly yet hilariously true, but these double-standards are getting pretty fucking old.
11 years ago at 1:55 pmI’d take 2 Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh from 2005 any day for my foursome. Also, learn how sports work, guy…5 guys in golf/swimming?!
11 years ago at 3:32 pmYou’re not fun.
11 years ago at 10:23 pmPreach. Refreshing to see people stand up to the double standards in public and not hide anymore.
11 years ago at 7:56 pmI agree if he said that about black people, liberals would throw a tantrum. However, we shouldn’t be pussies just because other people are.
