St John’s Nation,
I’m really excited by the job that @RealPitino, @steve_masiello, @EdKullStJohnsAD, and Tommy Ostrom have done building next year’s team as we continue taking steps toward becoming a Final Four program.
I’m incredibly proud of Rick, the entire coaching staff, and the players from the last two seasons for what they accomplished.
Think about this…….
Who would’ve thought 5 years ago that St. John's Red Storm would become BACK-TO-BACK Big East Regular Season Champions…
BACK-TO-BACK Big East Tournament Champions… And win an NCAA Tournament game in both seasons.
That’s culture. That’s leadership. That’s belief. That’s @StJohnsBBall program being back where it belongs!!!!!
But I also believe we may need ONE more final piece of the puzzle to truly become a Top 10 team and make a serious Final Four run.
I’ve always lived by the mantra: “Think Big. Dream Bigger.”
Who do you think can be that final piece of the puzzle???
Could be: • A portal player • Someone testing the NBA Draft waters who could still return to college • An overseas player
You can give me more than one choice but must rank them in the order of preference.
Let’s all have fun with this. 😀
LFG!!!! Mike from Queens. 🏀💪

@TTimmyMaher1@RepoleStable@RealPitino@steve_masiello@EdKullStJohnsAD Tim you're either a weirdo or a disgruntled Cuse fan. Mr. Repole, thank you for everything you have done for this city. All of Johnnie nation is riding with you as you chase a Final 4 as well as a win at the Kentucky Derby next year. God bless.
St. John's wins back-to-back Big East regular season and tournament titles for the first time EVER.
The Red Storm are 59-11 over the past two seasons under Rick Pitino.
One hire changed this program.
And college basketball.
@etanthomas36 Your school almost single handedly destroyed the conference chasing a football payday. BTW, I wish y'all were still around, SJU owes CUSE a few beatings like the one we just gave to Hurley. Respect to you though big man you were a beast and a class act. God bless.
Watching this St. John’s/UConn Big East Championship game just reminds me of how much I wish we were still in the Big East Conference playing in Madison Square Garden. That’s where we’re supposed to be #Cuse 🍊🤦🏾♂️
