"One suggestion for the NCAA is when you have interviews on the court for Duke, for the winning team, and they have time there - the game started before we even came in here - is to have the losing team go first. Because you left us disappointed in the locker room while the other team is celebrating, rightfully so."
"You should let the losing team go first and then let the winning team have as long as you want. Just a suggestion. Because you just left us hanging out there for over a half hour."
Duke Blue Devils defeated St. John's Red Storm 80-75 after overcoming a 10-point deficit. Rick Pitino criticized NCAA policies regarding postgame press conference order, suggesting the losing team should speak first. He expressed frustration about being left waiting while the winning team celebrated. Despite the loss, St. John's had previously achieved a buzzer-beater victory against Kansas. Duke will advance to face UConn in the Elite Eight.
