Here in good times and bad
To say the Red Storm received a brutal draw in March Madness would be an understatement. Fresh off obliterating UConn to win its second consecutive Big East Tournament title, St. John’s could only muster a 5-seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Awaiting them in the East Region is the number-one overall seed Duke, multiple future […]
The Quarterfinals: vs. Providence Fans entered Madison Square Garden with a mix of hopefulness and uneasiness. The opponent, Providence, had battled with them twice, once victoriously.

The two best teams in the Big East have been on a four-month collision course. St. John’s and UConn seemed destined to meet each other on the league’s biggest night. Their season series is tied up, with both teams winning on their home courts. The Red Storm made all of the right plays late and […]
It wasn’t a performance that will live in future highlights packages of Friday night games in the Big East Tournament’s illustrious history, but it was enough for St. John’s to dispatch Seton Hall in a 78-68 win and advance to the conference’s championship game for a second straight year. Zuby Ejiofor steered the ship for […]

Emotions bubbled over in the first two meetings between St. John’s and Providence.

Ahead of conference tournament week, the Red Storm made a nice leap in the rankings. St. John’s were ranked lucky No. 13 in the AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll, moving up five spots following wins over Georgetown and Seton Hall. The Red Storm were also 13th in this week’s USA Today Coaches Poll. This […]

For the first time in program history, St. John’s have won the Big East regular season title in back-to-back seasons, and they won’t be sharing it either time. The Red Storm already clinched a share of the Big East regular season title following their 72-65 win over Seton Hall on Friday night, then won the […]
It was never going to be a walk in the park. If St. John’s were going to clinch another Big East regular season crown, they were going to need to scrap for it against Seton Hall. In front of a madhouse crowd of 9,000 at the Prudential Center, the Pirates dragged the Red Storm into […]

After the Senior Night ceremony, at which five seniors, Zuby Ejiofor, Bryce Hopkins, Dillon Mitchell, Oziyah Sellers, and Handje Tamba were recognized with family members present, the Johnnies left the court. When they returned, Zuby Ejiofor led them into a layup drill. No dunk, no reverse layup, just a simple finger roll in the style […]
Zuby Ejiofor has experienced plenty of winning over these last three seasons. Some of those victories have been more dramatic than they ever needed to be. So there couldn’t have been a more fitting swan-song for Ejiofor and the Red Storm’s senior class than St. John’s rallying from a 12-point deficit to defeat Georgetown in […]

Senior Day is always a bittersweet occasion, but it will mean so much more when St. John’s bids farewell to one of the program’s greatest players of the 21st century. Along with five other seniors, Zuby Ejiofor will play in his final regular-season home game this Tuesday night against Georgetown (7 p.m., Peacock). This won’t […]
In college basketball, three days are long enough to fall hard and then rise just as high. On February 25th, St. John’s was handily defeated by Connecticut in a 32-point laugher. Three days later, Villanova scored the first basket of the game, but then the Johnnies completely took over, and the Wildcats also fell to […]
Saturday night’s blowout of Villanova wasn’t enough to cancel out St. John’s’ putrid defeat to UConn during the week in the eyes of the AP poll voters. The Red Storm fell three spots to No. 18 in the final regular season AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll. They also fell two spots to No. 17 […]
Kevin Willard didn’t have to imagine what the inside of the St. John’s basketball practice facility looked like in the days following their embarrassing 72-40 loss to UConn. He’s lived it. As an assistant coach for ten years under Rick Pitino when he led the Boston Celtics and Louisville men’s basketball, Willard experienced plenty of […]
There was so much uncertainty about how St. John’s would respond to their unspeakably awful 72-40 loss to UConn in the lead-up to Saturday’s game against Villanova. By the end of the night, it appeared like the result was always inevitable. As he always seems to pull off following a terrible loss, Rick Pitino worked […]

There is no sugar-coating it: St. John’s got their behinds kicked against UConn. The readers of this site are already well-aware of the grotesque details of Wednesday night’s 72-40 clubbing, and the inescapable tomato flinging from normally college basketball-agnostic sports media outlets for their efforts affirmed that, but what’s done is done and memories from […]
