Since the birth of the “new” BIG EAST in 2013-14, #SJUBB is 8-2 against former BIG EAST MBB schools that left the league for a Power 5 football conference. Those five schools (Syracuse, Pitt, WVU, Rutgers and BC) are a combined 318-360 on the gridiron in the last 11 seasons.

He's a hoops legend in Philadelphia. Now, he's the winner of our Jim O'Connell Award for excellence in beat reporting. Congrats to Mike Jensen! @jensenoffcampus usbwa.com/a/338b4dea

Proposed rule change for college basketball: if you have fewer than six team fouls and you need to send the opposing team to the line in the final minute, you should be able to send them for a 1&1 right away. Why punish teams for playing with discipline over the first 19 minutes?

I think the most starstruck I’ve ever been was meeting “The Schwab” at MSG when I was a teenager. He couldn’t have been nicer. I hope he realized how much he meant to an entire generation of sports fans. What an incredible man. RIP.

I’m so incredibly happy for my good friend Eddie Kull to be named the athletic director at his alma mater. Coach Kull worked tirelessly for this program. We wouldn’t be here without him. Best of luck in Queens, and how about you bring those Johnnies to Rose Thrill next year?

I’m continually baffled and beyond jealous of the undying love that Bona alums have for their alma mater. Every single Bona grad I’ve met would take a bullet for the place, especially the basketball program. Every athletic department in America should aspire to this.

Growing up in my house, there was only one “Coach.” Many more important than I will offer more meaningful tributes, but Coach had this incredible gift for making everyone feel valued and a part of St. John’s. In so many ways, there will never be another like him.

I’m genuinely shocked when St. John’s doesn’t get an offensive rebound.

Something that cannot go unnoticed: After another heartbreaking loss in the conference tournament, Quinnipiac head coach Tom Pecora stopped and shook hands with almost every member of the team’s beat reporters and thanked them.

Totally biased because he’s my friend, but Mike Watts is incredible at this gig. Not a better announcer in the business. What a night at MSG.

St. John's Athletics is devastated to hear of the passing of Derek "DJ" Southerland. A double alumnus of St. John's, member of the SJU-TV Production team and devoted fan of all Red Storm athletic programs DJ was a fixture at all Johnnies home games. He brought a contagious energy
