Rick Pitino brings St. John's into its Sweet 16 game on Friday against Duke in Washington. D.C. This will be the 14th time Pitino has coached a game in this round of the men's NCAA tournament. To give one an idea of how long Pitino has been around, he was named head coach of the New York Knicks in July of 1987. A month later, one Jon Scheyer was born. That would be the same Jon Scheyer that Pitino will coach against when his Red Storm meet the Blue Devils. A look at his 12-1 record in the Sweet 16.
