Rick Pitino Says 'I F--king Hate the World' Whenever St. John's Loses in Viral Video

After winning four straight games, the St. John's Red Storm men's basketball team fell to No. 22 Creighton 66-65 on Saturday in Big East action, and while it was a close game, head coach Rick Pitino isn't considering the result a moral victory.

"When we lose I f---ing hate the world," Pitino told reporters after the game. "... No, I don't feel good. I've never felt good with a loss. So, I don't feel good. I don't believe in those valiant efforts on the road."

Saturday's game between the Red Storm and Bluejays ended on a controversial no-call.

St. John's guard Jordan Dingle appeared to be fouled by Creighton guard Francisco Farabello at the buzzer, but no foul was called and the Bluejays went on to secure the one-point victory.

After Red Storm guard Daniss Jenkins missed what would have been a go-ahead jumper, the ball was batted out toward Dingle, who jumped up for a putback and was knocked to the court by Farabello in the process.

While it was a frustrating way to lose a game, Pitino didn't blame the officials for the loss and neither did Dingle.

"This was a game we could have won. We had a lead and should have done more to sustain it but believe it or not we will be better next time out," Dingle told reporters after the game. "… I think we played well but not well for 40 minutes. We can't just play well for 34 or 36 minutes. We didn't put it together for all 40 tonight. Credit to them, they played a great game."

This is Pitino's first season as head coach of the Red Storm following three seasons coaching the Iona Gaels. He has led St. John's to a 12-5 record this season and the program remains in contention for the top spot in the Big East standings.

St. John's will be back in action on Tuesday against Seton Hall before returning home to host No. 11 Marquette on Jan. 20.
