March is here and there's never a more important time in basketball than now. Playing for Rick Pitino takes a special type of character. Learning under Rick Pitino has benefits well beyond the basketball court. Joining the show today is someone who knows intimately what is going on in Queens right now. On the heels for the Big East Tournament and the NCAA Tournament, St. John's is ready to go on a run. But the work that goes into it is often hidden. We take a peak behind the curtain with someone that has been there, done that, as a player and as a coach. He played under Rick Pitino at Kentucky and led the way as point guard - then he was the head coach at UMass, Oklahoma State and St. Louis. Travis Ford is here to tell us what it takes to play for Rick Pitino, win under Rick Pitino and be ready for the rigors of March!

St. John's has done it. A tough fought game in Newark at the Prudential Center, the Red Storm would prevail 72-65 to clinch at least a share of the Big East Title as well as the #1 Seed in the Big East Tournament. Led by Zuby Ejiofor as well as clutch play from Ruben Prey, Dylan Darling, and others, the Johnnies capped off a 25-6 regular season with their 18th win in Big East play. St. John's has been battle tested and they knew they would have a rock fight on their hands. Why would they want it to come easy, as St. John's would claw and fight for greatness. An incredible roller coaster of a season has ended on a high note!

Rick Pitino has said his teams are often slow on senior night, historically, and well they were just that on Tuesday night. As Red Storm fans said goodbye to Zuby Ejiofor and the other seniors, they would need another come from behind effort to prevail. Ejiofor's 23 points were the heavy lifting but it was Joson Sanon's 15 points in the 2nd half that won St. John's the game. With one game left in the regular season, St. John's will look to claim back to back Big East Conference titles and have their eyes set for another Big East Tournament title and a long March ahead. We're joined by Zach Braziller of the New York Post to recap and discuss.

The question on everyone's mind was how would St. John's respond from their historic loss to UConn last Wednesday. Rick Pitino said the players took the loss as hard as he and the coaching staff did, that's how he knew they'd respond. And they responded in a big way, with a blowout win over Villanova, 89-57. It was a no nonsense ass-kicking from start to finish, St. John's making sure to remind everyone who they are. Ian Jackson had his best game of the season and Zuby Ejiofor tallied 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to notch the 5th triple double in the last 40 years for St. John's.

It was as ugly as could be as the #15 ranked St. John's Red Storm saw their 13 game winning streak snapped in Hartford. Anemic is a nice way to describe the offense from the reigning Big East Champions, as the #6 UConn Huskies took it to them from the start. St. John's was no where to be found as their game did not travel with them to Connecticut. Roger Rubin of Newsday and Kevin Connelly of StormThePaint.com and SINow join me to discuss their first hand accounts of a historically bad night.

Was able to join Rob Dauster on the Top Dogs podcast he hosts about the UConn Huskies for a second time to break down the big match up. On February 6th, St. John's welcomed UConn to MSG and took care of business beating them by 9. Now the return trip a few weeks later has equally as many storylines heading into it. How different will the game plan be, will UConn be able to stop St. John's in the paint, the turnover battle, how will the free throw line dictate things this go around and plenty more as we preview this top 15 tilt on Rob's Top Dogs podcast from The Field of 68 as we cross it over on here.

St. John's dismantled Creighton at MSG on Saturday to make it 13 wins in a row. The Johnnies are in first place in the Big East at 15-1 in conference play. Dylan Darling has continued to shine and the front court of Zuby Ejiofor, Bryce Hopkins and Dillon Mitchell continue to be unstoppable. Plus we start talking about the week ahead, games against UConn and Villanova, the tournament is on the horizon and seeding is a big talking point. St. John's is hot have the country on notice.

St. John's extended it's winning streak to 11 with a 79-69 win over Providence to avenge their only conference loss of the season. But most people will not be talking about the game but instead the fracas that took place short after halftime. Six players were ejected after Duncan Powell's dirty foul on Bryce Hopkins caused an all-out brawl. With a short bench and in a hostile environment, St. John's would not be denied as Dylan Darling scored 18 of his 23 points in the 2nd half to help lead St. John's to victory. The Red Storm have improved to 20-5, 13-1.
