As St. John’s historic season continues on toward the NCAA Tournament, they’ll play host to the 2025 Big East Tournament, which begins today.
The Johnnies won this year’s Big East regular season title outright for the first time since 1985, going 18-2 in conference play, and just yesterday, RJ Luis was named Big East Player of the Year and coach Rick Pitino won Big East Coach of the Year.
The No. 6 ranked team nationally, St. John’s, are the favorite to win the Big East title, but they’ll have to win three more games to get there.
The tournament begins today at Madison Square Garden; here’s how you can watch all the games without cable.
