It has happened before with Rick Pitino: an inconsistent offensive team that struggles to shoot, but defends at an incredibly high level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thirteen years ago, offensive limitations didn\u2019t stop Louisville from reaching the Final Four, and it hasn\u2019t stopped 10th-ranked St. John\u2019s from winning 22 of its first 26 games and rising to the top of the Big East.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSimilar in the sense we were going to have to win extremely ugly in a lot of ways like St. John\u2019s does,\u201d Pitino\u2019s son, Richard, an assistant on that Louisville team and currently the New Mexico head coach, told The Post over the phone. \u201cOur defense and rebounding traveled. That\u2019s why we were able to win a lot of games.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those Cardinals shot 31.1 percent from 3-point range. They made only 68.6 percent of their free throws. They ranked 112th in offensive efficiency, but they were first in defense. They won the Big East Tournament, landed a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced all the way to the Final Four, before losing to eventual national champion Kentucky and Anthony Davis. Three of Louisville\u2019s four tournament wins were decided by seven points or fewer, while holding the opposition to an average of 57.5 points in those four games.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
