Pure guts. That's what St. John's showed in the 2nd half inside Madison Square Garden as they stormed back from down 15 points to beat Seton Hall 65-60. It was shades of last year, with a toughness on displayed we didn't see in the first half, and most of the season. It was a win and a performance that should have the Red Storm and it's fans feeling great as they proved they can win by digging their feet in and clawing their opponent.

Joined by Roger Rubin of Newsday and Kevin Connelly of StormThePaint.com we recap the huge come from behind win

Make it four wins in a row for St. John's as they improve to 6-1 to start Big East play following an 86-79 win against Villanova. A trip to the Main Line proved to be friendly confines for St. John's who have now won four of their six conference games on the road. They led by as many as 17 thanks to the best games of the season by Bryce Hopkins and Ian Jackson. Moments that previously caused St. John's to stumble, were answered by big shots and good defense. St. John's has seemingly turned a corner since that Providence loss, as they have a ton of momentum behind them.

The Red Storm are road warriors as they've gotten their third road conference win of the season knocking off the Creighton Blue Jays at home 90-73. Lefty has come on strong the last two games, earning a spot in the rotation and making the most of his opportunities, leading the Johnnies with 17 points in this game. The Red Storm dominated this game, which featured their best offensive half of the season and seemingly looks like the rotations are coming into focus. A big week was a success for Rick Pitino's squad earning two much needed quad 1 road wins.

That's more like it. A dominant second half played out in the complete opposite way of the last game as St. John's used their defense to get a much needed road win. Thanks to Lefteris Liotopoulos and Ruben Prey plus Bryce Hopkins, the Red Storm dominated Butler and followed the formula that worked so well last year. St. John's relied on the three main returnees to win this game, as well as great connection on defense using the press and forcing 21 Butler turnovers. Picking up a much needed Quad 1 win, St. John's will look to take this momentum to Omaha as they will look to make it a road warrior week against Creighton.

It was not a happy new year for St. John's as their lack of toughness reared its ugly head again this season. Soft interior play, the inability to handle adversity, and not being able to put away a struggling Providence team led to the worst loss of the season on Saturday afternoon. A 33 points 15 rebound effort from Zuby Ejiofor was wasted because of St. John's inability to make a shot all second half. The guards for St. John's were non factors, the lack of adjustments to the struggles on offense were perplexing and St. John's season continues to walk a tight rope as a quad 3 loss in their own building now features on their resume.

Shades of the Auburn game in Las Vegas, it was another horrific second half where St. John's looked completely lost. Scoring would be nearly impossible for St. John's as a big Kentucky team got everything they were looking for. The Red Storm could only rely on the free throw line to score, as their last chance for a resume building win evaporated in Catlanta. Now St. John's must wear the title of being a major disappointment through 11 games of the season.

Zach Braziller of the New York Post and Kevin Connelly of StormThePaint.com join the podcast to give their takes from being in Atlanta as the worst case imaginable for St. John's when making a schedule like this has come to fruition.

St. John's opened conference play on Tuesday night in Queens with a 13 point win over DePaul. It was the Dylan Darling show as his 17 points powered St. John's to their first win in conference play. Backing that up was stellar defense for a third straight game, holding opponents to just 62 points per game. The Iona game was full of storylines, from Rick Pitino coaching his former team to Ian Jackson's haircut which led to much improved play as he gets the nod at starting PG. The Red Storm have rattled off three straight wins, as they build confidence for a huge game against Kentucky on 12/20.

Kevin Connelly of Storm the Paint joins the show for the first half to discuss the wins over Iona and DePaul..

(27:00) then we welcome on the voice of Kentucky Sports Radio, Matt Jones to preview the game against Kentucky. The history with Rick Pitino, Will Jayden Quaintance play, who has the match up edge and so much more !
