Eye on the Storm

Madison Square Garden was sold out. Spike Lee was courtside wearing a PHD hoodie and The Mecca was a sea of red. St. John's romped UConn 89-75 and the final score was not indicative of how bad of a beat down it was. For the first time in 25 years, St. John's has swept the season series with the two-time defending National Champions as a dream season continues. The Red Storm improve to 24-4 overall and 15-2 in the Big East.

Vice President and Director of Athletics Ed Kull returns to the Eye on the Storm Podcast to talk about this amazing season. What's it like handling such a successful season in the offices, what's it like handling such a succesful season that a program hasn't seen in decades? Plus there are major changes coming to Queens - mainly a full reseat of season ticket holders in Carnesecca Arena and Madison Square Garden. I ask the tough questions fans want to have answered. We discuss the house settlement that's on the way and its effects on St. John's plus plenty more.

St. John's got another ranked win on Sunday afternoon inside Madison Square Garden. A huge matchup between ranked opponents, fighting for the top spot of the Big East lived up to the billing. 79-73 St. John's got revenge on the Blue Jays after losing by 1 on 12/31, the surprise in this one being Deivon Smith and his health status. Tremendous games from RJ Luis Jr, Kadary Richmond and Zuby Ejifor powered St. John's to victory as the Red Storm have a two game lead for first place in the conference.

St. John's 10 game winning streak came to an end earlier this week with a 73-71 loss on the road to Villanova. It's the first time they have lost since 12/31 and perhaps it was a reality check for St. John's. I'm joined by the great Mike Vaccaro of the NY Post to discuss St. John's this season, the loss and what lessons can be learned from finding out you are not invincible.

Madison Square Garden was filled with red on Tuesday night, and as loud as you can hope for as #12 Red Storm took on #11 Marquette Golden Eagles. A battle of the top two teams in the Big East, the Red Storm with their first major conference test. Kadary Richmond, once again playing like an All-American, helped lead St. John's to an emphatic 70-64 win that sent a real statement to the other 10 teams in the Big East.

A 19 point lead evaporated thanks to blistering hot Providence shooting but when it came down to crunch time, the man named Kooks, delivered. St. John's gets the season sweep of Providence after it came down to the wire in Madison Square Garden. RJ Luis Jr and Zuby Ejifor were in double figures and helped Richmond carry St. John's through a roller coaster of a 2nd half. Also we discuss the upcoming huge game against Marquette and how vital it is.

St. John's left no doubt on Tuesday night as they traveled to the nation's capitol. 47 points in the first half was enough to win the game, as the #4 ranked defense held Georgetown to just 41 points in the entire game. With the win the Red Storm are undefeated in January from the first time since 1984-1985, and the #15 ranked team in the country completed the season sweep of the Hoyas.

1-12 from three didn't matter. Being down 16 didn't matter. No Deivon Smith didn't matter. St. John's found a way to win as they have all season. Through suffocating defense and timely baskets from Kadary Richmond, RJ Luis Jr, Simeon Wilcher, and Zuby Ejifor the Johnnies got it down in OT in front of over 14,000 fans. Richmond had his best game in a St. John's uniform and when it was all said and done St. John's remained in first place and sweeping Xavier for just the third time ever.
