Rick Pitino Unleashes Secret Weapon: Can St. John’s Shock Alabama This Saturday?
St. John’s left fans and fellow alumni (that’s right, I’m from the Class of 2008) disappointed last season. The Red Storm were 31-5 but lost as a 2-seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament to 10-seed Arkansas in the second round. As college basketball analysts predicted, the Johnnies’ poor outside shooting ultimately cost them last season.Â
However, Pitino addressed that in the transfer portal, bringing in a few sharpshooters, including guards Ian Jackson, Oziyah Sellers, and Dylan Darling. Granted, it was only one game vs. a non-ranked opponent, but St. John’s shot 62.0% from the field vs. Quinnipiac and 42.1% from behind the arc (8-for-19).Â
