St. John's Red Storm Soars into March Madness

0:00On March 15, St. John's Red Storm is riding high into March Madness after another stellar season under Coach Rick Patino in his third year. They've claimed back-to-back Big East regular season crowns and tournament titles, putting them among the top teams heading into the NCAA tournament. The team capped off their latest Big East run with a convincing 72-52 win over Connecticut in the final and Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. That dominant performance has everyone buzzing about their potential deep run. Leading the charge is Zubi Ejafor, who earned Big East player of the year and most outstanding player honors. He posted 16 points, seven rebounds, three-and-a-half assists, and two blocks per game during the regular season, making him a force on both ends of the court. Right now, ESPN-breakatologist Joe Lunardi projects St. John's as a number five seed in the South region, but that tournament championship could bump. Them higher, when Siege dropped on Selection Sunday, March 15.
