St. John’s provides another big glimpse of what they can be

At their best, these Johnnys offer a glimpse of what they could become if Rick Pitino's plans take a few years to germinate and grow. At their best, they play defense so ferocious that you can see genuine fear in the eyes of opponents trying to beat the 10-second clock just to get the ball […]

St. John’s needs to end skid vs. Villanova — for sanity’s sake

St. John’s looking to move past brutal 80-hour stretch vs. No. 17 Marquette

It was 80 hours that St. John's will want to forget. They lost to No. 18 Creighton in the last minute. No show at Seton Hall. Meanwhile, Johnny's coach Rick Pitino and guard Jordan Dingle tested positive for the coronavirus. The news has gotten much better since the lopsided defeat in Newark, N.J. Pitino is […]

Ex-St. John’s guard Dylan Addae-Wusu torches old team for Seton Hall

Dylan Ade-Wusu insisted it was just a game. No extra motivation. There's no indication that St. John's new coaching staff should have kept him. His performance wasn't like that. The former Johnny's guard electrified his old team by helping Seton Hall past St. John's 80-65 on Tuesday night at the Prudential Center. “He came out […]
