St. John’s men’s basketball game preview: at Georgetown
The Red Storm have their first substantial opportunity to turn the page from their disappointing start and show they are a different team from their first 12 games, as they travel down to our nation’s capitol to face historical rival Georgetown on New Year’s Eve. Game information Who: St. John’s Red Storm (8-4) vs. Georgetown […]
Three takeaways on St. John’s’ men’s basketball after non-conference play
The St. John’s basketball fanbase’s response to their 8-4 start is a consensus of overwhelming disappointment. A record of 9-3 would have met with some approval, as it would mean the Red Storm had beaten one of the four marquee opponents (Alabama, Iowa State, Auburn, or Kentucky). But this did not happen, despite the Johnnies […]
Checking in on the rest of the Big East
With non-conference play completed for St. John’s, the holiday break is a good time to take stock in how the rest of the Big East is performing before action heats up in January, in order of their ranking in the conference’s preseason coaches’ poll. UConn 12-1 overall record (2-0 Big East) / AP #4 in […]
Where St. John’s men’s basketball stands in the metrics after non-conference play
It’s no secret that St. John’s had a disappointing start they’d like to put behind them. Entering the season as the fifth-ranked team in the country, they went 0-3 against ranked opponents and spiraled out of the AP top 25 poll. Despite missed opportunities to strengthen their resume, the Johnnies are still in a good […]

The 2026 NBA draft is still more than six months away, but St. John’s center Zuby Ejiofor is already being projected as a late first-round pick for the Washington Wizards in multiple mock drafts after the conclusion of non-conference play. Bleacher Report and NBA TV draft expert Jonathan Wasserman projects Ejiofor to be selected with […]
St. John’s men’s basketball avoids trap game, hammers Harvard in non-conference finale
The last thing St. John’s needed was a letdown after tumbling out of the rankings with a 7-4 record. The Red Storm almost sleepwalked their way into a trap game against Harvard two nights before Christmas, but they gained a pulse after a lethargic start and rolled to an 85-59 victory in their final non-conference […]

St. John’s men’s basketball goes unranked in AP Top 25 after frustrating loss to Kentucky
The Red Storm can kiss the number next to their name goodbye. St. John’s went unranked in the latest AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll released on Monday following their 78-66 loss to Kentucky over the weekend that dropped them to a record of 7-4. This is the first time St. John’s has been left […]
St. John’s men’s basketball game preview: Harvard
St. John’s blew the remainder of their preseason equity in their infuriating 78-66 defeat to Kentucky on Saturday. They surrendered a seven-point halftime lead and were flat-out dominated in the second half by a Wildcats team criticized for their inability to play physically in previous marquee games this season. With a 7-4 record and their […]
St. John’s men’s basketball implodes versus Kentucky in 78-66 defeat
Desperately needing a signature win in non-conference play to enter into the holiday break with tons of momentum in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday afternoon, St. John’s instead played their worst half of basketball under Rick Pitino and melted down in spectacular fashion against Kentucky, intensifying the panic facing the Red Storm after a troubling start […]

St. John’s men’s basketball game preview: Kentucky
Saturday’s meeting with the Wildcats has been almost two years in the making. The seed was planted at Kentucky head coach Mark Pope’s introductory press conference in April of 2024, when the former National Champion proposed scheduling a game against his former college coach, Rick Pitino, and the St. John’s Red Storm to 20,000 attentive […]

St. John’s men’s basketball opens Big East play with comfortable win over DePaul
The Red Storm’s Big East title defense didn’t begin in style at Carnesecca Arena on Tuesday night, but they took care of business in a 79-66 victory over the DePaul Blue Demons to begin conference play with a win for the fifth consecutive season.

St. John’s men’s basketball game preview: DePaul
It’s easy to forget, but the Red Storm need to take care of another game before their much-hyped matchup against Kentucky in Atlanta on Saturday. For the fourth time in five seasons, St. John’s will open its Big East schedule against the DePaul Blue Demons at their on-campus home of Carnesecca Arena. Game information Who: […]
St. John’s men’s basketball surges past Iona with big second half
Another ugly offensive start isn’t surprising for St. John’s. Neither are the big scoring runs that make up for their early scoring droughts. It took eight minutes for the Red Storm to wake up on Saturday, then they completely overwhelmed Iona for the final thirty-two in a 91-64 victory over Iona, scoring 55 points and […]

Rick Pitino announces Ian Jackson will start for St. John’s men’s basketball versus Iona
When Ian Jackson transferred from North Carolina to St. John’s, many didn’t expect Jackson to begin his Red Storm career cutting his teeth off the bench. Although the New York native hasn’t already lived up to the moniker of being the program’s “next great point guard” as head coach Rick Pitino tweeted this offseason, Jackson […]
St. John’s women’s basketball slated to face UConn at Madison Square Garden
The Red Storm’s Senior Day matchup against the heavyweight Huskies is getting the top-billing venue it deserves.

Tip-off for […]
St. John’s men’s basketball guard Casper Pohto to undergo season-ending hip surgery
The Red Storm were dealt another blow to its depth on Tuesday. The program announced that guard Casper Pohto will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a chronic hip injury, and recovery is expected to take 6 to 8 months. Committing to St. John’s in June, the 6-foot-3 guard from Stockholm, Sweden, only played in six […]
Three takeaways from St. John’s men’s basketball’s 63-58 win over Ole Miss
Cold weather was on its way as 14,000 fans were taking their seats for an inter-conference battle between two teams hoping to change course after slow starts.

The Red Storm finally stopped its descent through the AP poll and moved up in the rankings for the first time this season on Monday, climbing one spot to No. 22 in the latest AP top 25 men’s basketball poll after their scrappy 63-58 win over Ole Miss this weekend. St. John’s also moved up […]
St. John’s men’s basketball squeaks past Ole Miss in ugly fashion
To paraphrase a nugget of hockey wisdom: “They don’t ask how, they ask how many.” Hours after the first-place Colorado Avalanche gutted out an unflattering overtime win over the New York Rangers in the NHL, St. John’s survived its own sloppy matchup at Madison Square Garden and inched past Ole Miss in a 63-58 rock […]
