Did Rick Pitino obscene gesture at Kentucky fans?
On the other hand, we have the Louisville Cardinals.

All in all, not his finest hour.
After that, Pitino wanted to set the record straight about not doing the postgame press conference he skipped out on and sent assistant coach Ralph Willard to do.
A video posted on Twitter shortly after the final horn seemed to show Pitino, walking down the tunnel with his head down, responding to a yelling fan by extending his arm with his middle finger extended.
Asked whether he gestured in any way toward the crowd, Pitino said, “My recollection was a, ‘we r #1′”.
After recent years with the focus locked on one-and-done talent, it’s the seniors – guys like No. 1 Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine, No. 3 Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield and No. 5 Virginia’s Malcolm Brogdon – leading some of the nation’s best teams. The former Kentucky Mr. Basketball put up 13 points and hit 3-of-4 threes in easily his best game with the Wildcats.
Poythress scored six of the Wildcats’ first eight points to open the second half, stretching their lead to 52-36 with 17:49 remaining. Ulis hit deep threes at the end of disastrous plays to keep Kentucky’s momentum, not allowing the Cards to ever take a lead in the second half. “They made them and you’ve got to give them credit”.
Ulis’s play and leadership were typified by one shot late in the game.
“Never changed his emotion the whole time”, Calipari said of Hawkins.
The Battle of the Bluegrass proved to be a back-and-fourth fight for the majority of the game with both teams starting a little tight, committing some uncharacteristic turnovers and forcing shots. I’ve done that every year since I’ve coached. “Other days, they were in and out, in and out, but (Saturday) they fell for me”.
Kentucky’s Jamal Murray (23) defends Ohio State’s A.J. Harris (12) during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015, in NY. Lee was the best player on the floor, scoring 27 points, hitting 9-of-10 free throws and playing 40 minutes. The Buckeyes were unfazed by Kentucky’s height and hype in their 74-67 win last week in Brooklyn, New York. His three of 14 shooting didn’t help much either.
Tyler Ulis was named the national player of the week by NBC Sports’ College Basketball Talk. Memphis was led by superstar freshman Derrick Rose, who took Memphis to the Final Four and the first team to ever win 38 games in a single season. We wanted to go inside, or get a good shot.
With school out of session this week, Kentucky figures to get lots of extra practice time and individual instruction over the next few days. He’s lost 11 of his last 14 against United Kingdom overall. Hawkins came off the bench for five.
Impressive as Murray’s game was, Kentucky coach John Calipari seeks more offensive contributions.

The series is still in the Wildcats’ favor, 33-15, and they’ve won the last three meetings – including a battle in the Sweet 16 two seasons ago that ended in a 74-69 victory.
