St. John's head coach Rick Pitino doesn't want to get in a war of words with John Calipari, but recent comments from Kentucky coach Mark Pope suggest otherwise.

The NCAA Tournament bracket is out and there are some juicy matchups right out of the gates. One second-round matchup could be particularly intriguing. St. John’s is paired with Arkansas for a possible meeting after the opening round of action.

Rick Pitino has won at every stop of his college coaching career, from Boston University to Providence, Kentucky, Louisville, Iona and now St. John's. For one of the oldest coaches in college basketball, turns out the winning formula doesn't change much over the years, as proven by the Red Storm's success this season.
