For the first time since 1999 the St John's Red Storm are headed to the Sweet Sixteen Sometimes a coaching hire can change a sport Three years ago St John's and Father Shanley landed Rick Pitino. The rest is history.

St. John's thrilling win over Kansas was more than a victory for the Johnnies. It was a much-needed win for the Big East, for the idea of March Madness, and for the entire sport. Column: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

St. John’s fans have lived a long nightmare of moments and there’s no doubting they were thinking “what could go wrong?” late. But Rick Pitino’s team did not waver. Nobody’s been more clutch for them than Darling. What a shot. What a moment. 27 years of pain gone away.

I asked Dan Hurley about the Big East getting UConn and St. John’s in the East Regional. His answer was gold and included a call for a one-day cease fire between warring fan bases: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

St. John's Sweet 16 run has transformed New York into a college town - at least this week trib.al/MP0dDNR

The transfer portal has screwed up college sports. My bill is simple: you get 5 consecutive years to play 5 seasons and you get 1 transfer. After that, if you transfer again, you sit out a year. This will fix 80% of the issues in NIL today.

If you appreciate elite big men, St. John's vs. Duke is the Sweet 16 game for you. But can the Blue Devils handle a roundhouse to the jaw? My scouting report and prediction: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

"It's St. John's or retirement for me," Rick Pitino just told me by phone. More on njdotcom nj.com/sports/2026/03…

Look, we dislike UConn and they dislike us back…but the Big East has been disrespected the last couple of years and it’s good to see the conference in the final 4, and we hope that the momentum continues with getting 5+ teams back in the tournament, like this conference deserves

.Collin Gillespie breaks the Suns' record for three-pointers made in a single-season (227)! Congrats, CG! ✌️

The Big East has been in a down year with a team in the title game basically every other year since 2013

(1/6) Some thoughts on today’s transactions: Villanova is loaded (monetarily). They’re going to have enough assets to compete at the top of the league next year. I’m fully confident they’ll have a just as, if not more talented roster than this year. That said… #🧵

I feel bad for Tarris Reed. Played 4 years for Michigan and UConn. The 2 schools won 3 Titles in those 4 years. Unfortunately, he never got one.

It’s official: For the first time since the 2019-20 season, every single Big East team finishes the season inside the KenPom Top 100. Even in a “down season” for the league, it had two second weekend teams and the national runner-up. And now the real fun begins tomorrow 📈

This is dumb. *However* Now that we can pay CBB players, what’s to stop someone paying Michigan starting five to put on an exhibition game against the Wizards?

As Seton Hall continues to lose its top talent each offseason, Shaheen Holloway will be graded on a curve. Making the NCAA Tournament is no longer the bar by which a Pirate coach is judged. My analysis, added to the tracker: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress
