St. John's basketball ranks ninth all-time in NCAA Division I wins with 1,973 and has appeared in 32 NCAA Tournaments, achieving nine Sweet 16s and two Final Fours.

For the first time ever, the St. John's Red Storm are back-to-back Big East champions after defeating UConn in a wire-to-wire 72-52 win in the conference title game on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. When these teams last met, the Huskies handed the Johnnies a humbling 32-point loss, snapping the team's 13-game winning streak and leaving them eager for redemption.

St. John's and Connecticut, the top two seeds, are heavily favored to meet in Saturday's championship game. They are the only Big East schools ranked in the Associated Press top 25 poll: UConn is sixth and St. John's is 13th. Both are locks for the NCAA tournament, as is Villanova, the No. 3 seed.

UConn's +1266 scoring differential (outscoring opponents by 38.3 points per game) is a result of scoring 88.7 points per game (second in college basketball) while giving up 50.4 per outing (first in college basketball).

I went out to a special tailor for the first time in my life and had a white suit made up. I said, 'you know, this could be one of my last white suits if I finished coaching this year - which is not true - but I said, 'there's no freaking way I'm wearing a white suit after that loss.' So I just wasted a lot of money.
