"CINCINNATI -- Dylan Darling hit a 3-pointer with 53.2 seconds left and Ruben Prey had a putback layup with 13 seconds left as St. John's rallied from a 16-point deficit in the second half to defeat Xavier 88-83, giving Rick Pitino his 900th on-court victory. Pitino is the fourth coach in Division I to reach the milestone, joining Mike Krzyzewski (1,202), Jim Boeheim (1,116) and Roy Williams (903)."
"The milestone victory came at the expense of his son, Richard, who is in his first season coaching the Musketeers. The elder Pitino has won four of five meetings against his son, who previously coached at Florida International, Minnesota and New Mexico. It is also the 20th time in 23 Division I matchups the father has defeated the son. Pitino officially has 777 career wins after 123 victories were vacated due to NCAA violations while at Louisville."
