Jon Rothstein, a college basketball insider for CBS Sports and a sideline reporter for CBS and TNT Sports, discusses St. John's chances in the NCAA Tournament, despite concerns about the team's overall performance and depth. He also mentioned that St.John's is significantly more tested than last season due to the difficult non-conference schedule and a strong frontcourt. Rothstein also mentioned the success of St. Johns in the last two years, including winning the Big East outright in consecutive seasons, and not winning an NCAA Tournament game since 2000. He praised head coach Rick Pitino for his ability to coach another 20 or 25 years. The only concern is that St John’s has played against teams that are currently considered locks to be in the tournament.
