The Storm is Coming: St. John’s vs. Northern Iowa Preview
The dance is officially here! After a historic run to a second consecutive Big East Championship, Rick Pitino and the St. John’s Red Storm (28-6) are headed to San Diego as a No. 5 seed to face the ultimate bracket-buster: the No. 12 seed Northern Iowa Panthers (23-12).
In this episode, we break down why the "Johnnies" enter this matchup as one of the hottest teams in the country, winning 19 of their last 20 games. We look at the dominant play of Big East Player of the Year Zuby Ejiofor, who is coming off a monster 18-point, 7-block performance in the title game blowout of UConn. Can his defensive interior presence neutralize the Panthers’ disciplined attack?
On the other side, Ben Jacobson has the Panthers back in the tournament for the first time in a decade after a historic Arch Madness run where they became the lowest seed (No. 6) to ever win the MVC title. We analyze UNI’s sharpshooting guard Trey Campbell and their top-25 ranked defense that loves to slow the pace.
Is this a classic 5-12 upset alert, or will the Red Storm’s "New York’s Team" energy carry them into the weekend?
