ICYMI: Column: Gene Hackman created so many indelible characters in so many unforgettable films that “Hoosiers” can get lost when listing his best. But for those of us who care about sports & movies in equal measure, he will forever be Coach Norman Dale: nypost.com/2025/02/27/s...

Column: It’s fine to fret about the #Knicks, and fair to fillet them when they bow before the elites . But it’s also allowed to appreciate that the habit of winning, end of the day, is a hell of a lot more appetizing than the habit of losing. nypost.com/2025/02/27/s...

ICYMI, Column: only six prior St. John’s teams have ever been inside the Top 10 when the calendar turns to March. This one will make seven. No longer just a feel-good story, expectations have changed. And that’s a very good thing. #SJUBB nypost.com/2025/02/24/s...

Al Trautwig spent his Long Island childhood as a stick boy for the Islanders and a ball boy for the Nets, and his adulthood as one of the most ubiquitous voices in all of New York sports. He was also very good company, and a damn good man. Godspeed to him.

Column: after another blowout to another elite teams, it’s fair to wonder how the #Knicks can ever manage to close the gap. The playoffs begin in 56 days. That’s a lot of ground to cover, and an increasingly fleeting amount of time to cover it. nypost.com/2025/02/23/s...

Vac’s Whacks: St. John’s-UConn is going to be a hotly-anticipated college hoops clash at Madison Square Garden Sunday. Here are a few other Garden college games that got the city hyped up over the years #SJUBB nypost.com/2025/02/22/s...

Column: it’s easy to get up for a full house against a ranked foe. It says more about the character of a good team when it takes care of business against a “lollipop,” as Lou Carnesecca called them. St. John’s took care of business against DePaul. #SJUBB nypost.com/2025/02/20/s...

ICYMI, Column: the family of David Berger long honored his memory by believing in the Olympic ideal even as the story of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered in Munich receded to mist. “September 5,” a brilliant movie, ensures they will never be forgotten. nypost.com/2025/02/19/s...

ICYMI, Column: Twenty-three months ago Rick Pitino dreamed of a Madison Square Garden filled with nothing but red. It seemed even Pitino’s reach had finally exceeded his grasp. And yet there it was Sunday: a full house, all of it bedecked in red. #SJUBB nypost.com/2025/02/16/s...

ICYMI, Column: the #Knicks have done a lot well through 54 games and it’s right to celebrate that. And just as right to realize the only thing that matters from here is closing the sizable gap that exists between them and the green team from Boston. nypost.com/2025/02/13/s...

ICYMI, Column: St. John’s lost an agonizing game that they should have won, and that stings. But there is a lesson to be learned out of it: just how precious a season is, and how fragile it can really be. #SJUBB nypost.com/2025/02/12/s...

ICYMI, Column: St. John’s is rapidly running out of doubters. Perhaps one superb game against UConn can’t officially signal a changing of the guard, but let’s put it this way: The guard is officially on notice. #SJUBB nypost.com/2025/02/07/s...

ICYMI, Column: if you were at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night you not only saw. St. John’s biggest signature win in a signature season, you turned your watch back to 1984 or so and witnessed a quintessential old-school Big East war. nypost.com/2025/02/05/s...

If St. John’s was even adequate from the foul line tonight there’d be a party in progress at MSG. Instead it’s a Maalox special. #sjubb

ICYMI, Column: Ime Udoka taught the Celtics how to be legit tough, and is doing the same with the Rockets. Monday they forced the #Knicks to discover a new level of toughness, too. It was the only way they caught the Rockets & the only way they beat them. nypost.com/2025/02/04/s...

Vac’s Whacks: After a close call against Providence, it’s clear St. John’s has developed a nose for winning. Maybe that’s not a real skillset but it’s the most lethal weapon in the Johnnies’ toolbox. And not a bad one to have. nypost.com/2025/02/01/s...

ICYMI, Column: about 15 minutes ago the loudest criticism aimed at the #Knicks was that they only beat up on bad teams. But after drubbing Memphis and drilling Denver back to back, the skeptics are going to have to find a different narrative. nypost.com/2025/01/30/s...

ICYMI, Column: once, the city was Brooklyn & the team was the Dodgers, forever waiting for Next Year always foiled by the Yankees. Until they weren’t. Now it’s Buffalo, & the #BillsMafia , with the Chiefs forever in the way. Until, one day, they won’t be. nypost.com/2025/01/27/s...

ICYMI, Column: the Grizzlies are exactly the kind of team that usually gives the #Knicks fits: fast, quick, scoring points in buckets. Naturally the Knicks blew their doors off. They continue to confound, and lately it’s been in a very good way. nypost.com/2025/01/28/s...

Column: We may go on to claim other schools as alma maters, but so many generations of NYC basketball fans have always turned to St. John’s as a first love in college basketball. When the Johnnies are good, they uniquely unify the city. #sjubb. nypost.com/2025/01/27/s...

Vac’s Whacks: When you have a GM you can trust, truly trust, it makes the experience of rooting for a team much, much better. #Knicks fans have that with Leon Rose. Are #Mets fans are coming around on David Stearns? nypost.com/2025/01/25/s...
