John Calipari got some support from an unlikely place this afternoon.
St. John’s head coach Rick Pitino, who admitted he’s not best friends with Calipari, put out a video today encouraging Kentucky fans to give Cal a standing ovation Saturday when he returns to Rupp Arena.
“I want all of you showing the class that you have…23,000 plus people giving him a huge standing ovation,” Pitino said, “Show him what respect and admiration is all about. I know you have the class, I’ve always believed in you. Do it once again.”
