Pitino: “I’m not an expert on Alabama basketball history but I’d say that 1987 Alabama team and this team are the two greatest Alabama teams ever...but this team is much better on defense. They’re not going to allow us to shoot 68 percent.”
Pitino said that Providence winning against the 1987 Alabama team was”one of the biggest surprises of my life.”
Rick Pitino remembers thinking the 1987 Alabama basketball team was “invincible” before his Providence team beat them by 21 in the NCAA tournament.
