Mark Few is living Richard Pitino’s dream. “Everyone has this dream of being a mid-major that turns into this dominant program like Gonzaga has done,” said Pitino, the newly hired New Mexico coach. The school in the small city of Spokane is most certainly a powerhouse now. Few’s Bulldogs were only one win away from a blemish-free season and lifting the 2021 NCAA men’s basketball championship trophy. Meanwhile, Pitino is taking over a program that only won six games in 2020-21. When P...
