Just finished watching a great Panathinaikos BC win, Sloukas, Dinos, and Pap were awesome. And the sixth man (the crowd) was not to be believed. Good luck in Serbia!

Pumped with Aaron Scott joining the Johnnies. He has a great work ethic and shoots and defends. Patience is a virtue in getting the right formula. With our freshmen and returnees to go along with these great athletes, Vince and Aaron, your tickets will be more valuable than…

After putting Vince Iwuchukwu through a player development session, I knew we had to have him in a Johnnies uniform. Awesome attitude and work ethic. 7’1, 250, agile, mobile, and shoots the heck out of it. Excited to have him with so much upside and potential!

.Joel Soriano with another double/double. 15 points & 13 rebound performance at Portsmouth. Missed his one 3 though, so he's in big trouble for that when he returns to Queens 😂😂

Wow, just saw clips from our Captain’s press conference. Not shocked, but pleasantly surprised. Would expect nothing less from Mark Pope. Also, St. John's Men’s Basketball accepts, this year at UK, next year at the Mecca! Looking forward to saying goodbye to Kentucky Men’s Basketball.

I'm blown away with what the NEW YORK KNICKS are accomplishing. Teamwork, discipline, coaching, and an insatiable desire to win. Also doesn't hurt having this years MVP! Go Knicks!

Nate Oats flew down to Indian Creek to talk basketball n play golf after Alabama beat Iona. Nate Oats shot about a 130. He left n the following week had a hole in one - Five men n not one Pitino has had a hole in one 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

What an incredible win for Panathinaikos. With two seconds left - Kendrick Nunn goes one on one n ends with a basket at zero time at Bologna. Great win!!! Berlin here we come!! ☘️

Not sure where these rumors originate from but all I can say is Van Macon isn't going anywhere and he is a valuable member of our staff at St. John's

Congrats to Steve Dombroski for receiving the MET 'Good Guy' award. It is certainly much deserved as I put you in the same class with Kenny Klein at Louisville. That is the highest compliment I could give anyone

Have a great suggestion for Dan Gavitt, who is absolutely the best. I know three guys who are watching games all year n would be a great addition. They won't just look at certain metrics. Jim Boeheim, Roy Williams n Coach K. They need to be part of selection Sunday!!!
