St. John's is much bigger and faster this season and I'm bullish on the team
Well, we're much bigger. We're 7-1, 7-foot, 6-10, 6-9... I have a young man from Utah, Deivon Smith, who is faster than, as fast, if not faster than Peyton Siva... I'm really bullish on this basketball team.
Rick Pitino said he was bullish on St. John's basketball for the 2024-25 season. St. John's went 31-5, finished 1st in the Big East (18-2), earned a 2-seed in the NCAA Tournament, and Pitino won multiple Coach of the Year awards. The team fully justified the bullish take.
