Pitino's Revenge: St. John's vs. Duke

0:00On March 23rd, Rick Patino has carried a grudge for over 30 years from a heartbreaking loss to Duke in the 1992 Elite 8. Now, coaching St. John's, he's got a shot at payback when his team faces the Blue Devils in the sweet 16 this weekend. St. John's punched their ticket with a thrilling last second layup against Kansas on Sunday, winning 67-65.

It's shaped his view of close games, where he's experienced both winning and losing in the final moments. Recently, the memory resurfaced while he watched a Hulu show Paradise, where a character brought up Duke's famous shot right in the first episode. Patino couldn't even escape it during downtime. This clash pits an underdog story against a tournament favorite, and a win for St. John's could rewrite some old history while pushing deeper into. March Madness
