Big win against a hated rival. We likely punched our ticket to March. Tomorrow night against UConn is a house money game.

Per Zach- St. John's will construct a new practice facility in 2027. Talks are also underway to upgrade Carnesecca Arena.

"Following a feasibility study conducted by the athletic department over the last few years ... The hope is it will all be finalized by the spring of 2027"

Nice win against Butler tonight to keep hope alive for a tourney birth.

Nice win, good to beat Posh too. I think if we win next 2 and win 2 in Big East to be safe we are in NCAAs.  If we win out regular season and win 1 Big East not so sure but either way we did punch a ticket to at least the NIT barring some crazy collapse. Post-season basketball for the first time since Coach Mullin tenure will be appreciated and only help make the young players better.

We cannot have any letdowns against Georgetown or DePaul. Have to win both. We tend to play Georgetown better at Home so I am hoping this win would be more convincing.

This is why you are legend!

I prefer "national treasure."

First- your assuming DePaul is a legit college basketball team. How could I mention that awful team/sister school of ours.

It's called irony, google it.

Second, I never heard of or knew anything about those games. Good recap and learning experience- sadly a tortured history much like my Mets and Jets.

Hence the history lesson. The Jets won the Super Bowl. The Mets have won a couple of World Series. That they haven't in your short life doesn't make them bums. Whereas St John's is an antediluvian also ran turned laughing stock. It's not one thing or another: it's not that they hired this guy rather than that guy or this guy went here rather than somewhere else (except Alcindor and maybe Gary Payton and Darius Miles and Lenny Cooke - an actual tragedy of whom you've never heard). I wouldn't go so far as to say that SJU is cursed, but it's clearly not blessed. Which having been said, let us pray:

Dear Lord
friendofjohnie has been a Saint John's fan
for nearly ten years and has never
been treated to a national championship
Let us pray that we sweep De Paul
Amen
