THE YEAR OF THE DYLANS 🔥

[Edward M. Kull @EdKullStJohnsAD]

Johnnies Win!!! Johnnies Win!!!

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

Last night was incredible. I’ve never felt energy like that in The Garden before. This is a special group.

[St. John's Red Storm @StJohnsRedStorm]

St. John's Athletics is devastated to hear of the passing of Derek "DJ" Southerland. A double alumnus of St. John's, member of the SJU-TV Production team and devoted fan of all Red Storm athletic programs DJ was a fixture at all Johnnies home games. He brought a contagious energy and spirit to the crowd at every game he attended and always carried a bright smile. ❤️

St. John's games won't be the same without DJ, may he rest in peace.

Details on a tribute to follow.

@John_Fanta The worst I’ve ever seen.

@Chris_Forman12 @purdueboiler83 My opinion as an SID who posts the score regardless of result: if you don’t post, your account is no longer a reliable source of game information. Plenty of people use this app as their primary source of CBB information. You wouldn’t disable statbroadcast if you’re losing late.

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

Totally biased because he’s my friend, but @MikeWattsOnAir is incredible at this gig. Not a better announcer in the business. What a night at MSG.

[Mike Watts @MikeWattsOnAir]

200th game at MSG. ✅🎙️

Big East vibes are immaculate.

Something that cannot go unnoticed:

After another heartbreaking loss in the conference tournament, Quinnipiac head coach Tom Pecora stopped and shook hands with almost every member of the team’s beat reporters and thanked them.

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

I’m genuinely shocked when St. John’s doesn’t get an offensive rebound.

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

In closing, go SMU, beat Penn State, but please stop telling everyone that you killed our mascot.

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

A thread I never in a million years thought I'd have to write.

Over the past few weeks with SMU's success, I've seen a ton of people on here talking about how Peruna, the SMU mascot, killed Rameses, the Fordham mascot, in 1934. I don't think that happened. 🧵

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

Did the stories get merged over the last 90 years and this is how an urban legend was born? I don't know, but this has been bugging me for like a week. Are there at least a few other college football nerds out there that find this interesting (looking at you @SickosCommittee )

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

@Fdarbs Same here! I’d love to think they all grabbed lunch today.

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

Growing up in my house, there was only one “Coach.”

Many more important than I will offer more meaningful tributes, but Coach had this incredible gift for making everyone feel valued and a part of St. John’s. In so many ways, there will never be another like him.

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

@frankingeneral @StJohnsBBall I think Fox and YES used to be affiliated in some way. I remember you used to be able to watch YES on the FoxSportsGO app back in the day.

[Andrew O'Connell @anoconnell]

I’m continually baffled and beyond jealous of the undying love that Bona alums have for their alma mater. Every single Bona grad I’ve met would take a bullet for the place, especially the basketball program. Every athletic department in America should aspire to this.
