There has been some vigorous debate about whether getting a double-bye in the Big East tournament is a good thing.
Louisville coach Rick Pitino doesn’t have any doubt.
“Certainly getting the double-bye after competing 18 games in the Big East is a major advantage. To get ready for the tournament, you need some rest….We would love to get the double-bye just to get a little rest going into the tournament,” Pitino, whose Cardinals captured Big East regular-season and tournament titles last year, said on Thursday’s Big East conference call.
