"Guys want to feel that moment of winning another championship, especially a championship at MSG. That would probably be going out in the best way possible. Getting the opportunity to win back-to-back regular season and back-to-back Big East Tournaments, I want it bad."
"Dylan Darling has emerged as a quality backcourt player. It's not the same backcourt that played against Alabama and Auburn."
"The lesson is that you guys can get beat any night."
St. John's basketball aims to accomplish an unprecedented feat by winning consecutive Big East Tournaments under coach Rick Pitino. The team also won back-to-back Big East regular season championships, marking historic success. Pitino showed players a video of last year's championship celebration at Madison Square Garden to motivate the squad. The Johnnies finished the regular season winning 16 of 17 games. Key to postseason success is the backcourt, with Dylan Darling returning from injury and Joson Sanon improving. The frontcourt trio of Zuby Ejiofor, Dillon Mitchell, and Bryce Hopkins will provide most offensive production. Pitino emphasized that any team can lose on any given night during a practice scrimmage.
