Talkin' Johnnies Ryan Olson

The Red Storm conquered tremendous feats in just year one of the Rick Pitino era here at St. John's: 20 wins, playing on Friday night of the Big East Tournament, and winning their first game at the Finn in 31 years. Yes, it certainly hurt to miss the big dance, but at this time next year, I can guarantee you that this program will hear their name called. Join me as I reflect on the past week and stay tuned till the end as I rank my top 5 moments of the season. Thanks so much for listening and I hope you enjoy!

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Big East Tournament week! In episode 16, I take you through my game-by-game predictions for the Big East Tournament and explain why St. John's has to beat Seton Hall on Thursday to keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive. Stay tuned to the end to see which team I have cutting down the nets as Big East Champions. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy!

On episode 15 of the Talkin' Johnnies podcast, I take my listeners along with me on my trip to Indianapolis where I had the luxury of seeing a season-changing St. John's W. Then, I dive right into the metrics: what St. John's needs to do to hear their name called, how many Quad 1 wins they'll need, who to root for down the stretch, and so much more. Also stay tuned till the latter half of the episode where I blindly compare two bubble teams' resumes to that of the Red Storm's. Thanks for listening and I hope you all enjoy!

On episode 14 of the Talkin' Johnnies podcast, I am joined by St. John's Athletic Director, Mike Cragg. Mr. Cragg and I touch on yesterday's huge win, the controversy surrounding court storming, his relationship with Coach K and so much more! Plus stay tuned at the end to learn Mr. Cragg's go to spot for a NY slice. I hope you all enjoy and thanks for listening!

Sunday 12 O'Clock you all know where you should be. The answer: Madison Square Garden cheering on your St. John's Red Storm in their biggest remaining game of the regular season. I'll preview the contest with the red hot Creighton Bluejays and explain why the Red Storm desperately need this one for their already slim NCAA tournament chances.

Another gut wrenching defeat. Another halftime lead down the drain. Does this team have a final run in them or did Sunday seal the deal? We’ll have to wait and see. I recap the loss, explain how the Red Storm can still make the dance, and dissect Rick’s questionable post game comments. I hope you all enjoy!
