Rick Pitino was back at "The Barn" on Saturday, his first visit since December 10. Pitino and son Ryan watched Richard Pitino and Minnesota top Indiana. And, it was nearly impossible not to notice the two behind the Minnesota bench. The Hall of Fame coach is one of the game's most recognizable faces, of course, while Richard's brother, well, he was dressed in a chicken suit.

According to a tweet from Seth Davis, Ryan lost a bet, which is why he is wearing the costume. They don't call it "The Barn" for nothing, right?
See how Rick and son celebrated the win below:
