John Fanta Explains Why Rick Pitino's St. John's Red Storm Team Can Make It All The Way To The Final Four

On today's Pardon My Take... JOHN FANTA! The face of college basketball and broadcaster + writer for FOX Sports joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter on today's show to talk ball, which teams can make a run, the resurgence of St. John's, plus a bonus dunk on his new mini hoop.

It is no secret that one of the biggest stories in college basketball this season has been the aforementioned St. John's Red Storm. Just two years into taking the job in Queens, Head Coach Rick Pitino has totally put the program back on track to what it used to be during the glory days. And as the King of the Big East, there are very few people out there who will have a better opinion on this team than the one and only Johnny Fanta.

So, what are his thoughts on Coach Pitino's squad? How far can they go? We got that answer on today's show. Take a look...

I'll tell you what - that stat about the only teams to shoot under 32.5% from three and to make the Final Four being Rick Pitino's squads is certainly a great sign for St. John's. Could we see a repeat of that 2013 Louisville group? Absolutely.

The Red Storm have the players, the vibes, and they most certainly have their coach. Ladies and gentlemen... March is coming.
