What is Richard Pitino’s record at New Mexico?
The hype is real for Pitino and New Mexico. Meanwhile, Minnesota head coach Ben Johnson has the Gophers off to a 1-0 start after a win over Bethune-Cookman, though there isn’t anyone in the country looking at the Gophers as a Final Four contender much less a team that has a very strong chance to make the NCAA tourney.

If the Final Four in men’s college hoops next April features Arkansas, Creighton, Michigan State, and New Mexico, not only is John Fanta a genius, but so too is Richard Pitino because he will have taken the Lobos from being a 6-win team in 2019-20 to a championship contender in just four years.
Fanta, a respected college basketball announcer and reporter for FOX, is picking New Mexico, Arkansas, Creighton, and Michigan State to make the Final Four this season.
