The Red Storm conquered tremendous feats in just year one of the Rick Pitino era here at St. John's: 20 wins, playing on Friday night of the Big East Tournament, and winning their first game at the Finn in 31 years. Yes, it certainly hurt to miss the big dance, but at this time next year, I can guarantee you that this program will hear their name called. Join me as I reflect on the past week and stay tuned till the end as I rank my top 5 moments of the season. Thanks so much for listening and I hope you enjoy!

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Big East Tournament week! In episode 16, I take you through my game-by-game predictions for the Big East Tournament and explain why St. John's has to beat Seton Hall on Thursday to keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive. Stay tuned to the end to see which team I have cutting down the nets as Big East Champions. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy!

On episode 15 of the Talkin' Johnnies podcast, I take my listeners along with me on my trip to Indianapolis where I had the luxury of seeing a season-changing St. John's W. Then, I dive right into the metrics: what St. John's needs to do to hear their name called, how many Quad 1 wins they'll need, who to root for down the stretch, and so much more. Also stay tuned till the latter half of the episode where I blindly compare two bubble teams' resumes to that of the Red Storm's. Thanks for listening and I hope you all enjoy!

On episode 14 of the Talkin' Johnnies podcast, I am joined by St. John's Athletic Director, Mike Cragg. Mr. Cragg and I touch on yesterday's huge win, the controversy surrounding court storming, his relationship with Coach K and so much more! Plus stay tuned at the end to learn Mr. Cragg's go to spot for a NY slice. I hope you all enjoy and thanks for listening!

Sunday 12 O'Clock you all know where you should be. The answer: Madison Square Garden cheering on your St. John's Red Storm in their biggest remaining game of the regular season. I'll preview the contest with the red hot Creighton Bluejays and explain why the Red Storm desperately need this one for their already slim NCAA tournament chances.

On Episode 11, I am joined by St. John's beat reporter, Zach Braziller. I ask Zach some of the many questions fans have on their minds regarding the Red Storm's latest skid. Zach explains why Rick still has his fastball, how the Johnnies can still make the tourney, and why next season will be nothing like this season. Give it a listen Johnnie nation!

So close, but yet so far! On Saturday, we saw one team in the first half and a completely different team in the second in a disheartening loss to the #7 Marquette Golden Eagles. When is this team going to stop making the same mistakes. I don't want to hear the first year BS from Rick anymore. I just want to make the NCAA tournament, is that too much to ask? It very well might be as St. Johns has dropped 6 of their last 8.

In the past week, St. John's got a taste of both the top and bottom of the Big East when they squared off against #1 UConn and winless DePaul. A disheartening defeat to the Huskies followed by a convincing W leaves the Johnnies at 14-9 (6-6) with plenty of work to be done. I'll highlight how the emergence of Jordan Dingle can elevate this team to a new level and why Sean Conway might see some more minutes going forward. I hope you all enjoy!

A new month means new opportunities for a Red Storm team that desperately needs a spark. A signature win over the #1 Huskies in front of a sold-out MSG would be a great place to start. I preview the much-anticipated tilt between the two and try and forget about what happened Wednesday night. I hope you all enjoy!
