The Hype Around John Calipari and Rick Pitino Suffers as Veteran CBS Broadcaster Busted in the Act

2 min read

Arkansas versus St. John’s is shaping up to be quite a contest! Everyone knew it would be a high-voltage game, with Calipari and Pitino facing off against each other, but no one could have expected this! The Hogs took off with an early lead, but the Red Storm is fighting their way back. It’s anybody’s game now, and there’s palpable tension in the air.

However, it seems like announcer Steve Lappas can’t get enough of the thriller! The former Villanova and UMass coach has certainly spent his time in both the coach’s and the broadcaster’s seat. He has seen it all–the rise and fall of teams in March.

According to TheGunzShow on X, however, Lappas has been letting the excitement get to him and his commentary. “The color analyst for Arkansas vs St. John’s is talking WAY too much. He’s letting the high emotion and atmosphere of Calipari vs Pitino get the best of him.” The tweet read, showing Lappas’ passion for the game.

I think it’s Steve Lappas? He’s making it all about him. Take a breath, stop stepping over PBP and just let it play out
