Rick Pitino has his backcourt for the 24-25 season!
Aaron Scott and Vince Iwuchukwu are the first two additions but bigger names have been linked to SJU as of late. BTW my apologies to Tyler JONES who I mistakenly referred to as Tyler Smith on my outro. I’ve gotta be better than that!
The season didn’t end where we wanted it to. The committee showed little to no love for us and the BE. Would hate to face a pissed off Rick Pitino next year!!

St. John’s moves to 3-1 in the big East thanks to the continued dominance of Joel Soriano (20 & 8) and the solid support of DJ Jenkins. Providence comes to the garden for a big time opportunity for St John’s to beat a team they could be competing with come tournament birth time.

Michigan spoils Rick Pitinos Garden debut. There is A LOT to work on with the group but I would advise you not to give up early on a squad with this many new pieces and this many NCAAB veterans.

Momma we made it!!
I made it down to CA for the first ever time to make sure I could say I was there from Day 1 for this new look St. John’s team under coach Pitino. Damn am I happy I did so!
