This game is why I root against Ohio State in everything. I bet the selection committee will find a way to put both St. John's & Ohio State in the same bracket in March. Most likely as a #5 seed (beating a #4 seed) vs. #1 seed, or a 6 seed (beating a #3) vs. #2 seed. It would be fun to watch!
This was basically the last St. John's team that mattered. The 2000 team was real good too....won the Big East and grabbed a #2 seed in the NCAA's but was upset in the 2nd round. Since then SJU hasnt done a thing.
I still believe if obinna ekezie hadn't hurt himself that Maryland would've beat St. John's in the Elite 8. We missed the big guy. That Red Storm D just collapsed on Steve Francis and I believe that game exposed Laron Profit (although he did get drafted and played a few years in the Pros). Mad props to both of these programs this particular year. Lots of talent.
The 1998-99 team is one of my favorites out of every team, college or pro, I've ever rooted for. No one expected anything, and they pulled out so many special wins like this one.
who woulda known Artest to best of them all!

I was there.
The next day I thought my brain was going to explode from screaming & cheering so loud during the game. This is my favorite Buckeye B-ball game ever!
Thanks for posting the video. Go Bucks!

My old roommate played pickup with Scoonie Penn once at J.O. South. Needless to say the dude just destroyed everyone.
