St. Johns Mens Basketball Team Secures Big East Tournament Championship Berth with Impressive Win Over Seton Hall St. Johns mens basketball team, led by coach Rick Pitino, has secured a spot in the Big East Tournament championship after defeating fourth-seeded Seton Hall. The top-seeded Red Storm, with a 27-6 record, have shown their strength in just three seasons under Pitinos guidance. This victory marks their first back-to-back title game appearance since 1999 and 2000, and they have extended their conference tournament winning streak to a program-record five games, averaging a 15.2-point margin. Zuby Ejiofor, the unanimous Big East Player of the Year, led the team with 20 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. Joson Sanon contributed 15 points off the bench, including a four-point play, to spark the offense. St. Johns started strong, building a 19-point lead in the second half, and although Seton Hall made a late push, the Johnnies held on to secure the win. The team now prepares for the championship game against either UConn or Georgetown on Saturday at 6:30 PM Eastern on Fox, with a chance for revenge after a previous loss to the Huskies.
