Thank you to our readers at Rumble In The Garden for your support during this special season. I enjoyed covering so many of the games at MSG, Carnesecca Arena, and on the road.
We will have more to come in the following weeks and months on transfer portal action and recruiting.

Kid in a St. John’s jersey #24 with a red towel over his face, sitting at the sweet 16 game in DC. He’s sad.
It was a good season. But this sums it up right now. #sjubb

FINAL: Duke 80, St. John’s 75
The Red Storm gave the number one seed everything they had, but it was not enough as their 2025-26 season comes to an end. Had a ten-point second half lead, but the Blue Devils pulled it out with clutch shots.

Duke has become just the second team to defeat Rick Pitino in the Sweet 16, barely escaping St. John’s with an 80-75 win to await either UConn or Michigan State in the Elite 8 on Sunday. Isaiah Evans had 25, Cam Boozer 22 and 10.
Hell of a game all around. #GoDuke #sjubb

St. John’s were carrying momentum after Mitchell’s putback dunk to give them a 69-67 lead, but Duke is back in the driver’s seat.
Ballsy three by Evans, then a contested jumper and the foul by Cam Boozer gives Duke a 72-69 lead.

Khamenia just knocked Darling square in the chest. Driscoll called it a block.
That’s where we’re headed down the stretch, St. John’s fans. #sjubb

Duke is swinging back with a 9-2 run. Nikolas Khamenia gave the Blue Devils a chance to tie the game with a steal, but Caleb Foster airballed a three out of play.
St. John’s needs to get a stop inside, their lead is down to 57-54.

We’ve secretly replaced Ruben Prey with Larry Bird in the AT&T Long Distance Shootout. Let’s see if anyone notices.
That’s 12 points and four threes from the 6-foot-10 Portuguese sophomore, and Scheyer will talk, down nine with 15:26 to go, 53-44 the score. #sjubb

Groover with his third pro-Duke call, ringing up Zuby for his second foul on what didn’t look like much on the surface.
Now his fourth comes a few seconds later on Darling for incidental contact on Evans. #sjubb

While we’re all sitting here contemplating adult beverages with Breeding on the nightcap, St. John’s has eight straight to retake the lead and force Scheyer into a timeout at the 17:06 mark, going up 48-44 after a Zuby slam sent the Johnny fans into another galaxy. #sjubb

Ruben Prey is one of St. John’s leading scorers, with nine points to match Dillon Mitchell, all form distance. His third three beat the horn and put St. John’s in front going to the locker room.
That’s where we’re at after 20, with the Red Storm up one on Duke, 40-39. #sjubb

HALFTIME: St. John’s 40, Duke 39
Somehow, some way, despite getting steamrolled in the paint, the Red Storm head into the break with the lead. Ruben Prey’s third triple of the game caps a 12-4 run entering the locker room.
Johnnies shooting 9-of-18 from deep.

Groover with a second call in Duke’s favor.
What should have been a charge on Boozer is a block on Zuby instead. Didn’t like that one. #sjubb

Duke’s on a 18-5 run and have dragged St. John’s into deep waters.
Red Storm can’t buy a bucket, let alone create anything inside, plus Hopkins and Mitchell are in foul trouble.

Not the best stretch for St. John’s here. A little shocked that Rick is letting them play through. Thought the patented quick trigger timeout was coming after that Evans stepback triple. #sjubb

Hopkins picked up his second foul off some contact with Nik Khamenia. St. John’s fans might not like it, but that was the right call by Groover. #sjubb #GoDuke

As fun as those Mitchell and Prey threes were, St. John’s needs to find a way to get inside and offer some resistance in the paint. It’s been one-way traffic for Duke down the lane.
