Rick Pitino and John Calipari’s handshake was as icy as you’d expect

Pitino appeared to crack a joke as the coaches approached midcourt and even gave a perfunctory chuckle. Calipari barely responded, looking down and feigning a Mona Lisa smile.

The takeaway: Pitino is better at being fake than his cross-state counterpart.
