St. Johns Mens Basketball Team Secures Number Five Seed in NCAA Tournament The St. Johns mens basketball team has earned a number five seed in the East Region of the NCAA Tournament, setting up a first-round clash against number twelve Northern Iowa in San Diego. The Red Storm, who dominated as Big East regular season and tournament champs, will face a power conference opponent for the first time this season. Coach Rick Pitino expressed surprise at the San Diego draw during a watch party at Carnesecca Arena. A victory over Northern Iowa would put St. Johns in the round of thirty-two against either number four Kansas or number thirteen Cal Baptist.
