Watch: Pitino restrained from North Carolina fan at halftime

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

North Carolina holds one of the more hostile home environments in the ACC; something Louisville's Rick Pitino found out during Wednesday's game between the two programs.

As Pitino headed to the locker room for halftime with the Cardinals trailing by three, a fan said something to upset the legendary coach, as he needed to be restrained by his assistants. The fan was ejected shortly after the incident.

Pitino met with the media following the game and explained the reason for his outburst was that the heckler was an adult and not a student.
