"It makes no sense. I don't know how we were a 5 seed. I thought St. John's was going to be a one-seed. St. John's is gonna win a National title, right. St. John's is gonna win a National title. It's going to be a little harder, and it's going to be a little easier on the other side."
"Many college basketball fans were shocked when the Johnnies were named a 5-seed on Sunday ... a day after running UCONN, a 2-seed, out of Madison Square Garden the day before in the Big East Championship game. It was St. John's second win over Connecticut this season, and their 21st victory out of 23 games against Big East opponents."
St. John's received a 5-seed in the NCAA Tournament despite winning the Big East Championship and defeating 2-seed UConn in the conference title game. The selection committee's decision surprised many fans and analysts. Former St. John's star Metta World Peace expressed frustration with the seeding, believing the team deserved a 1-seed. Despite the challenging 5-12 matchup against Northern Iowa and potential Sweet 16 opponent Duke, World Peace remains confident in the team's championship potential. He highlighted star player Zuby Ejiofor's accomplishments, including Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year honors, expressing certainty that St. John's will win the national title.
