Rick Pitino Unleashes Secret Weapon: Can St. John's Shock Alabama This Saturday?

Regardless, the Johnnies don’t need to hit shots to get their offense going. St. John’s crashes the glass, presses full-court, and gets out in transition off rebounds and steals.

The Red Storm brought four 4-star recruits and one 5-star kid to Queens through the transfer portal. Their only player returning from last year’s team, C Zuby Ejiofor, was named the 2025 Big East Preseason Player of the Year. St. John’s has three players on the Naismith Trophy preseason watchlist: Ejiofor, Jackson, and PF Bryce Hopkins.
