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

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.

St. John’s men’s basketball clinches Big East regular season title in gritty win over Seton Hall
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 […]

Three takeaways from St. John’s men’s basketball’s dramatic win over Georgetown
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.

St. John’s men’s basketball completes comeback in Senior Night win over Georgetown
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.

Three takeaways from St. John’s men’s basketball’s 89-57 rout over Villanova
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 […]
St. John’s men’s basketball drops to No. 18 in latest AP Top 25 poll
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 […]
Villanova head coach Kevin Willard reflects on ‘miserable experience’ working for Rick Pitino after bad losses
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 […]
St. John’s men’s basketball gives perfect response to UConn blowout by shredding Villanova
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 […]

How St. John’s men’s basketball responds to rancid UConn loss will define their season
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 […]
St. John’s men’s basketball gets pulverized by UConn to end 13-game winning streak
Wednesday night’s game had all of the trappings of a closely-contested battle of ranked heavyweights at the top of the Big East. No. 15 St. John’s was riding the high of a 13-game winning streak, while sixth-ranked UConn was looking for revenge after their defeat to the Johnnies three weeks ago.

St. John’s men’s basketball demolishes Creighton to push winning streak to 13 games
Creighton’s road upset over fifth-ranked UConn caught the attention of the college basketball world.

Ian Jackson ruled out for St. John’s men’s basketball game against Creighton with ankle injury
St. John’s was fortunate to enjoy a mostly healthy season for their major contributors up until this point. Besides an early-season calf injury to Dylan Darling that only sidelined him for one game, the Red Storm’s rotation has been at full strength. That availability has helped them carve out an ongoing 12-game winning streak. However, […]
