Denver dashed: St. John's loses, 86-71 to Gonzaga in NCAA Tournament
It's over for the 10 seniors. It's over for Steve Lavin's first season. It's over for the St. John's Red Storm's tournament hopes. For the seniors, they lose in their first and only NCAA Tournament game. St. John's was absolutely crushed on the glass (43 total rebounds to 20 for the Storm) by the...
How to Beat Purdue by 18 Points
(No, we can never have too many Dumb and Dumber references on the front page at once.) Owing to the short turnaround, no full recap of last night's awesomeness. But, the four factors graph can't go without mention: College Basketball Two things on that graph stand out to me. This...
Garden magic fizzles: St. John's loses to Syracuse, 79-73
It felt like the kind of game St. John's fans are almost coming to expect. The bigger, badder, more talented opponent; the Johnnies, in the Garden; the surprisingly effective team play and passing leading to the upset... but the St. John's Red Storm couldn't pull out the win, despite playing the...
Winning controversially: St. John's advances in Big East Tournament with 65-63 win over Rutgers
St. John's rode a controversial end to move into the next round of the Big East Tournament, defeating Rutgers 65-63 in a game filled with poor shooting.

St. John's 72, South Florida 56: a senior night victory
With the 72-56 win over South Florida, the St. John's seniors got to end their regular season showered in appreciation and draped in the black uniforms.

Postgame walk of shame: morning media glare
I remember going to Hoboken once for an afternoon party. The party wasn't that great, I was hanging out with people that I didn't really find interesting. We stumbled back to the Path train to make our way back to NYC, surrounded by homely people all trying to make it into Manhattan, and I looked...

A Miner Blowup; UTEP falls at ECU 83-76
The Miners started off this contest in the same rut that they've been in for about a month now. ECU jumped out to an early 11-3 lead, but the Miners were quick to respond this time putting together a 15-3 run that gave them an 18-14 lead. The two teams would trade leads for the rest of the half....
Mixed Signals: Ohio State 71, Michigan State 61
This game probably gets filed under the same general category as the loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium last December: good effort on the road against a superior opponent. This one hurts a bit more because it was a conference game, and MSU obviously needed this win more than we ever figured they...
Clank: Illinois 71, Michigan State 62
With 8:26 remaining in the second half, Michigan State had cut Illinois' lead to only two points, and with the score at 59-57, looked poised to pull ahead and take control of the game.
