St. John's men's basketball wins Big East for the first time since 1985, with Rick Pitino declaring Red Storm wants more
The celebration was modest because the Red Storm are eyeing other celebrations — such as their first Big East Tournament title since 2000 and a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. 'This is the answer to a prayer,' said St. John's President the Rev. Brian Shanley. 'This is what I hoped when we hired Rick that we would get back where we are right now – contending for a national championship. This is just the beginning in my book.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Stormed to the top of the BIG EAST at The Garden 🔴🌩️ Congrats 📷: Emma Wannie / MSGE — MSG (@TheGarden) Advertisement For the first time since Chris Mullin led St. John's to the Final Four when the team was nicknamed the Redmen and coached by Lou Carnesecca, the Red Storm are the outright regular-season champs. St. John's hadn't even won a share of the title since 1992, the final season of Carnesecca's storied career on the sidelines. The drought was the longest in Big East history, though several schools exited without any conference titles before spending anywhere near 33 years in the league. This year, St. John's achieved the title in the same season Carnesecca died just a few weeks short of his 100th birthday on Nov. 30. 'We're very proud of the fact that in the year that he passed, because he led a great life, we can honor him with this championship,' Pitino said. The Red Storm won the regular-season title after being picked fifth in the preseason poll and adding Kadary Richmond to go along with returnees RJ Luis Jr. and Zuby Ejiofor, who emerged as stars. 'I came here to challenge myself and try to take my game to the next level and obviously try to win at the highest level, which coach Pitino knows how to do really well and trying to learn from him,' Luis said. 'I think it's just a surreal feeling.' Advertisement After transferring from UMass, Luis averaged 10.9 points in 23 games last season while dealing with shin splints. Following offseason surgery, he's a leading candidate for Big East player of the year and averaging 17.7 points. Ejiofor backed up Joel Soriano last season and emerged as a force down low by averaging 14 points and eight rebounds as St. John's ascended to the top of the Big East. The Red Storm won 11 straight from Jan. 4 to Feb. 7, in a stretch that included consecutive wins over Marquette and UConn, and are 18-0 in home games. 'It was a really proud moment,' Ejiofor said. 'It was a testament of the work that we put in the whole season from preseason until now we all believe that we could get to this moment.' Zuby what a finish 😮💨 — St. John's Men's Basketball (@StJohnsBBall) Last season, the Red Storm reached the semifinals of the Big East Tournament for the first time since 2000. Pitino's first season ended with a 95-90 loss to UConn, which dominated opponents en route to its second straight national title. After guaranteeing St. John's would return to national prominence at his introductory press conference in March 2023, Pitino's first season featured a viral rant during which he lamented the team's athleticism following a loss to Seton Hall in February 2024. Since airing his frustration, St. John's is 32-5, with the losses coming by a combined 12 points. 'In my lifetime, I never looked at that until it was written and I said, 'I better get this thing going.'' Pitino said. 'It is a little different than the other places I've been the second year because you have eight and nine players back and everybody understands everything you teach and the culture and the system are there.' Advertisement The turnaround continued a trend in Pitino's long coaching career that also included two seasons with the New York Knicks in the early portion of Patrick Ewing's career. At his first stop as a head coach, BU was 21-9 in his second season. Providence went from 17-14 to 25-9, Kentucky jumped from 14-14 to 22-6, Louisville from 19-13 to 25-7, and Iona improved from 12-6 during a pandemic-abbreviated season to 25-8.

Max Abandons Plan to Charge for Bleacher Report Sports Add-On
Warner Bros. Discovery has abandoned a plan to charge an additional fee for Max's Bleacher Report (B/R) Sports add-on, at least in the short term. The new subscription tier, which was first revealed in October 2023, was initially set to be offered at no additional charge through Feb. 29, 2024, and cost $9.99 per month thereafter. But the paid version of the offering was delayed by Max after it said it was finalizing some 'tech integrations that will ensure a more seamless customer experience with our platform partners.' 'This path will not be pursued for now,' WBD said in an update on Wednesday. Additionally, the streamer will no longer offer B/R Sports and CNN Max in its Basic With Ads tier starting March 30. 'Over the last year plus, we had the opportunity to assess how users engage with sports and news on Max, and we've been actively involved in exploring ways to evolve the sports distribution ecosystem in the U.S. We believe that the best place for that content for now is within the Standard and Premium tiers,' WBD Global Streaming and games president and CEO JB Perrette said in a statement. 'This update ensures that subscribers can continue to enjoy that coveted access within Max, while also enabling ongoing investment in our premium sports and news portfolio.' B/R Sports on Max offers more than 1,700 live games and events each year, including the NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA, NASCAR, Roland-Garros, Big 12, BIG EAST, U.S. Soccer, Premier Cycling, and more, including pre- and post-game studio programming, multi-sport on-demand content, special features, and live series from Bleacher Report. 2025 highlights include NCAA Men's March Madness games, select games from the 2025 NBA Playoffs starting in April, the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs and Stanley Cup Final, MLB Tuesday regular season games and the National League Division Series and Championship Series, more than 45 games of Unrivaled's inaugural season of 3×3 women's basketball, up to 20 U.S. Men's and Women's National team soccer matchups, NASCAR's inaugural five-race in-season challenge starting June 2025, as well as NASCAR Cup Series practices and qualifying sessions for the second half of the season, grand slam tennis coverage of over 900 matches from Roland-Garros, select Big 12 college basketball and college football games, select BIG EAST men's and women's college basketball games;,two First Round games of the 2025 College Football Playoffs, upcoming installments of The Match, a premier live golf event, and more. While WBD has lost the U.S. rights to NBA games starting in the 2025/26 season, it reached a settlement with the league that will allow it to develop new shows and give the company international NBA rights in Northern Europe and Latin America, excluding Mexico and Brazil. TNT Sports will also continue to produce 'Inside the NBA,' which will be licensed to ESPN and ABC. CNN Max offers subscribers a 24/7 news streaming feed, alongside expanded access to on-demand news content and CNN Originals. In January, CNN CEO Mark Thompson outlined plans to launch a separate streaming service for the network, which would be 'a new way for digital subscribers at home and abroad to stream news programming from us on any device they choose.' Max's Basic With Ads tier currently costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, while the Standard plan is available for $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year and the Premium plan is available for $20.99 per month and $209.99 per year.
