I didn’t really think about it.” Pitino said after the win. “But I have great gratitude that they did because we won a regular season and a Big East Championship because of their play. The three of them — [Luis, Ejiofor and Kadary Richmond] — have been unstoppable.” And it was spot on. While RJ Luis Jr. and Ejiofor were among the offensive stars, Kadary Richmond shined on both ends – throughout the season.
