QUEENS, N.Y. – St. John's Hall of Fame Head Coach Rick Pitino will make a pair of appearances this week, joining Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti on WFAN's "Boomer & Gio" Thursday at 9 a.m. Pitino will also join FOX 5 NY's Tina Cervasio for a conversation in advance of Sunday's contest with New Mexico at Madison Square Garden.
Pitino has led the Johnnies to their first top 25 ranking in the Associated Press Poll since January 2019 after landing in the No. 22 spot on Monday. The Red Storm is fresh off of wins over Fordham, 92-60, and Quinnipiac, 96-73, last week, outscoring the opposition by a combined 55 points. St. John's also earned a spot on the USA Today Coaches Poll, rounding out the top 25 in the rankings.
St. John's will make its 2024 Madison Square Garden debut on Sunday when it welcomes reigning Mountain West Champions New Mexico for the NYC Hoops for Heroes Classic, benefitting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. It will be a family affair at The Garden as Pitino will square off with his son, Lobos' Head Coach Richard Pitino, for the fourth time in his career. Individual tickets for Sunday's contest at "The World's Most Famous Arena" are still available by clicking here.
Portions of Pitino's interview with FOX 5 New York will air Thursday evening during the nightly newscast. Pitino will also be featured on FOX 5 Friday morning on Good Day New York and on Sunday night during Sports Xtra at 10:30 p.m.
St. John's returns to action tonight when it welcomes Wagner to Carnesecca Arena. Tip-off from Queens is slated for 6:30 p.m. on FS2.
