per the STrib:
What Williams banner will feature “2015” after the season? Everyone inside hopes it’s the NCAA drape, not the NIT.
That was the plan when athletic director Norwood Teague dismissed Tubby Smith, who won a national title with Kentucky in 1997-98, and hired youngster Richard Pitino in April of 2013. The message was unspoken but clear: Change. Growth. Pitino would be expected to improve the program to relevancy once again.
“We don’t have apathy in our fan base — that’s something that really drives the whole basketball program,” Pitino said. “We’ve got great fan support, and they’re waiting for something great to happen.
“Hopefully we can give it to them.”
