A fair-minded observer would sooner regard this as an indictment on the 2024-25 Big East than anything more impressive. I'm surprised that you're framing it any other way, even if it's a harsh look for our own conference. Up until the NCAA Tournament, SJU's 18-2 record and BET crown looked almost on par with last season's UConn team. Then the Big East got 5 teams into the tourney instead of the prior year's 3. While it's true that 2023-24 crushed its way to a Natty, St. John's didn't just fall a little short. For a more recent experience of domination, you'd have to look at the WBB team for a truer perspective, even if we both saw SJU rise to and meet its challenges in an impressive way throughout the regular season & conference tourney.
