Rick Pitino leads St. John’s to first Big East title in 25 years

Rick Pitino led St. John’s to its first Big East Conference Tournament championship in 25 years this afternoon.

The Red Storm defeated Creighton 82-66 after trailing by three points at halftime.

After the game, Pitino joked that he is planning to drink about a quart of Jameson’s tonight:



St. John’s (30-4) is projected as a No. 2 seed on the eve of Selection Sunday.

One thing is for sure, you don’t want to see the Red Storm in your region.
