The Holy Land of Hoops

Duke and St. John's will resume their series with a home / home starting next season at the Garden on February 3.

Very important IMO. Continues to show that the Big East is major renewing a series with Cuse and Duke. It's a low cost very high reward series. If we get blown out, no one cares. If we win, it will be talked about for decades and it will make national headlines. We also have a history of being a thorn in Duke's side even in losing efforts. We won as recently as 2011 and I believe we gave them their last nonconference loss at Cameron in 2003 or something. Even a few years ago as Coach K was going for 1,000 wins, we gave them a huge scare in a losing effort. Here's to hoping we catch them off guard and putting the SJ logo back at the forefront of the college hoops world.

NYC must have some good recruits the next few years.

Other than two or three years we have played them just about every year since the mid nineties.

Awesome news for the Johnnies!

Great news, definitely shows we are a valuable property for Fox.

Does Fox get to broadcast these games? Who has the broadcast rights to an OOC game? The home team? I don't know anything about this side of the business.

Unless CBS picked it up.

Could be a huge game btw two ranked teams if everyone for St. Johns returns, along w the additions of Clark and Simon and hopefully the addition of a 6-9+ serviceable big man.
