Rick Pitino already has turned back the clock at St. John’s and restored a winning tradition. Now, the Red Storm want to make some March Madness memories, too.

RJ Luis Jr. is the Associated Press Big East player of the year and Rick Pitino's a unanimous choice for coach of the year after helping St. John's win its first outright conference title since 1985.

Eagle and Bill Raftery were on the call when St. John’s clinched the outright Big East regular-season championship by beating Seton Hall in a sold-out Madison Square Garden on March 1. Eagle, Raftery and Grant Hill will work together throughout the NCAAs, up to and including the Final Four if St. John’s gets that far for the first time since 1985.

Rick Pitino has excelled at coaching the St. John’s Red Storm, and he gave his comedy chops a try on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Jimmy Fallon to welcome Red Storm to NBC late-night program after former Kentucky and Louisville coach leads another program turnaround.

The song, performed over a traditional sea shanty beat, references the Red Storm’s success this season — they’re ranked No. 6 nationally and have won 15 of their past 16 games — and Pitino’s role in the program’s turnaround.

St. John's hasn't won the Big East Tournament in over 20 years. Is this the year Rick Pitino gets it over the hump? See the odds.
