Rick Pitino reached another milestone Monday night at the expense of his son. It certainly wasn’t easy, though. In fact, two of his toughest wins lately have come against his own flesh and blood — and nothing could make the Hall of Fame coach more proud.
Zuby Ejiofor scored six of his 25 points in overtime and No. 17 St. John’s outlasted pesky Xavier 87-82 at Madison Square Garden for its 10th consecutive victory. With his 904th career win on the court, Pitino passed Roy Williams for third place in Division I history behind Mike Krzyzewski (1,202) and Jim Boeheim (1,116).
