St. John's basketball team favored for deep tournament run
Rick Pitino is leading St. John’s University in March Madness for the second time. Last year, he helped the team win both the Big East regular season and tournament titles. This year, the Red Storm received a No. 2 seed in their tournament region, where they will compete against top-seed Florida. Experts have made predictions on how far St. John's will go in the NCAA Tournament. Mike DeCourcy, Bill Bender, and Perplexity, an AI model, all believe the team will reach the Elite Eight. Vinnie Iyer, another expert, predicts they will make it to the Final Four. Jay Wright also sees St. John's advancing to the Final Four. Iyer cautions that St. John's may lose to Auburn, the overall top seed, in the Final Four. As the tournament unfolds, fans are excited to see how far Pitino's squad can go.
