Until Rick Pitino took charge of the program in 2023, St. John’s basketball in this century was defined by their repeated failed efforts to live up to the standard set by Lou Carnesecca. Every successive head coach fizzled out due to incompatibility or incompetence, any glimmer of a turnaround was a mirage, and one could […]
Whistle, whistle, whistle. Kansas was content to burn its remaining fouls to give, denying Dylan Darling from advancing the ball past the timeline over and over again. This final possession re-told Darling’s frustrating night, who was held scoreless and missed all four of his shot attempts to that point. The Red Storm let momentum slip […]

To say the Red Storm received a brutal draw in March Madness would be an understatement.
