Rick Pitino returned to Rupp Arena for Big Blue Madness Friday night.
Fans were ecstatic when Pitino walked out with former players near the end of BBM. The former UK coach was decked out in Kentucky blue.
Did Pitino ever think he would be wearing Kentucky blue again?
“Yeah, I thought so,” Pitino said. “Once I left Louisville, I said I’d sleep in Kentucky blue.”
