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. When they returned, Zuby Ejiofor led them into a layup drill. No dunk, no reverse layup, just a simple finger roll in the style […]
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. 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 […]

Rick Pitino calls for St. John’s basketball fans to give Zuby Ejiofor a great send-off
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 […]
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. What instead transpired inside […]

Three takeaways from St. John’s men’s basketball’s blowout win over Creighton
The Johnnies brought home a twelve-game win streak to Madison Square Garden for a rematch with the Creighton Blue Jays.

St. John’s men’s basketball moves up to No. 15 in AP Top 25 poll
After two consecutive weeks of standing put at No. 17, St. John’s finally enjoyed upward movement in the AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll.

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. Although this year hasn’t gone to plan for a preseason top-25 team, that signature victory over the Huskies showed they can still beat the Big East’s best. The Red Storm weren’t letting that happen to them on Saturday afternoon. St. John’s […]

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, […]
Former St. John’s basketball coach Steve Lavin fired at San Diego
An ex-Red Storm coach’s days are numbered at his latest coaching stop. After an 11-17 start, San Diego announced they will part ways with head coach Steve Lavin at the end of this season. Lavin will still coach the team in their remaining three regular-season games, the WCC tournament, and any potential postseason. He had […]
St. John’s men’s basketball moves into first place in Big East after shutting down Marquette
For a moment, it appeared that not one, but both of the Big East’s superpowers would be blindsided on Wednesday evening. Earlier that night, Creighton walked out of an incandescent Gampel Pavilion with a convincing 91-84 win over No. 5 UConn. Hundreds of miles away in Milwaukee, St. John’s was also placed on the brink […]

St. John’s men’s basketball stays put at No. 17 in AP Top 25 poll
It was another undefeated week for St. John’s, who built their winning streak to eleven games after victories over Xavier and Providence last week. Unfortunately for them, they did not move in the rankings for another week. The Red Storm were ranked No. 17 in the AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll for a second […]
Duncan Powell suspended three games for sparking fight during St. John’s-Providence men’s basketball matchup
The Big East Conference announced that Providence forward Duncan Powell will be suspended for his next three games for his actions in the fight that broke out during Saturday’s game between St. John’s and Providence.

St. John’s men’s basketball pulls away from Providence after crazy brawl
While Providence was spoiling for a fight, St. John’s was playing for a win. The sold-out Amica Mutual Pavilion crowd fans were expectedly belligerent against Bryce Hopkins as he made his return to Rhode Island. Somehow, that hostility from the stands bled into the action on the floor and created an unforgettable scene in Saturday […]
Game thread: St. John’s men’s basketball at Providence
There will be no love lost when Bryce Hopkins makes his long-awaited return to Providence on Valentine’s Day. While St. John’s is looking to get out of Amica Mutual Pavilion with a victory on Saturday and extend their winning streak to eleven, the Friars and their fans would want nothing more than to complete the […]
Three takeaways from St. John’s men’s basketball’s overtime win over Xavier
After its win over third-ranked Connecticut last Friday, expectations for the Red Storm were rising. However, the coaches and players were careful to focus on “One game at a time”. Fans were talking about Tre Carroll of Xavier, who torched the Johnnies for 31 points in the first meeting in January. Who would draw the […]
