One week after beating Rutgers in an exhibition, Rick Pitino and St. John's fell to D-2 Pace.
New St. John's NCAA college basketball head coach Rick Pitino holds up a jersey after being introduced during a news conference at Madison Square Garden in New York, Tuesday, March 21, 2023. But on Sunday, Pitino and the Red Storm were dealt an unexpected loss by Division 2 Pace University, 63-59, back at Carnesecca. Pace, located in Westchester County, N.Y., went 20-11 a year ago and played in the D-2 NCAA Tournament.
“Nobody likes to lose, but exhibition games are exhibition games. I really was excited for Pace and the way they played every phase of the game to beat us. It wasn’t our injuries that lost the game, it was Pace’s great play. I’m really happy they won and I’m glad we did not come back against them because they deserved this victory and we did not. A much smaller team dominated us on the backboard and that can’t be. If I asked for anything for a Christmas present, it was this loss.
