Last night, Zuby Ejiofor tied Tariq Owens (2016-18) for fifth all-time in St. John’s history with 163 career blocks. Over his last seven appearances, the big man is averaging 3.7 swats per game.

Great win yesterday!!!! Since the UConn loss, St. John's is 7-0 and has the #2 team efficiency in the country (Torvik). Let's go Johnnies!!!!!!!!

Since the start of the BIG EAST Tournament, @StJohnsBBall has played 160 minutes. Over that stretch: - They have not trailed - They have led for 157:20 - They have led by 10 or more for 121:18

The two coaches combine for 1,755 wins, but Sunday will mark just the second time that Rick Pitino and Bill Self have faced off against one another. The first came on Nov. 28, 2021, a 96-83 win for No. 4 Kansas over Iona at the ESPN Events Invitational

The Red Storm's 79 points were the second most allowed by Northern Iowa this season. The Panthers' led the nation in scoring defense (61.3) entering the game.

The Johnnies are onto the second round for the second straight year. It's the program's first time advancing in back-to-back seasons since 1999-2000.

Zuby Ejiofor with 14 points and 11 boards. It's his eighth double-double of the year and his second straight double-double in NCAA Tournament games (23 pts, 12 rebs in last year's second round). 73-50 St. John's with 2:20 to go here in San Diego.

Oziyah Sellers (11) is one of three Johnnies in double figures along with Bryce Hopkins (13) and Zuby Ejiofor (11). 64-44 Johnnies with 7:58 to go in the second half

The Johnnies also tie the program mark for highest scoring first half in a @MarchMadnessMBB game. 47 vs. Arkansas on March 20, 1993

Bryce Hopkins with multiple 3-pointers for the second straight game and the fourth time overall this season. Johnnies are 7-of-15 (46.7%) as a team from beyond the arc.

Second straight game with an ambush for the Johnnies! @EvanMiya 10-0 run to start the contest and UNI calls time. St. John's has started with a run of 8-0 or better in each of its last four games.

Seventh straight game with this starting five for the Johnnies.

This afternoon against UNI (24) will be the Red Storm's third straight game against a team ranked in the top 25 of KenPom's adjusted defensive efficiency ratings. The Johnnies scored 1.17 points per possession against Seton Hall (14) and 1.14 against UConn (11).

The Red Storm will make its second @wbitwbb appearance tonight and ninth postseason trip under @SJUCoachT

Rick Pitino begins his 25th trip to the NCAA Tournament tomorrow against UNI. In his previous 24 appearances, he's 55-22 (.714). His 55 wins rank fourth among active coaches and his winning percentage is third among active coaches with at least 20 games.

Friday will mark the Red Storm's first NCAA Tournament game in California since 1986, when the Johnnies played in Long Beach. It'll be the team's second NCAA appearance in a state on the Pacific Coast (1952 Final Four in Seattle).

.@StJohnsBaseball slugger Adam Agresti homered in five straight games last week. He leads the Red Storm with eight round trippers, ranking second in the BIG EAST and 32nd nationally. His eight home runs are the most by a Johnnie through his first 19 games in the last 20 years.

St. John’s is a 5 seed for the third time in program history (1982, 1993). The Johnnies are 2-2 as a 5 seed.

St. John's will face Northern Iowa for the first time on Friday in San Diego.

St. John’s will hear its name called for the 31st time in program history during tonight’s NCAA Selection Show. Entering this season, St. John’s was one of just 29 programs with at least 30 NCAA berths.
