QUEENS, N.Y. (June 9, 2008) – St. John’s head men’s basketball coach Norm Roberts announced the signing of English big man Phil Wait to a national letter of intent to join the Red Storm for the 2008-09 season. Wait, a 7-1, 245-pound center originally from Manchester, England, is the third spring signee for Roberts’ squad, in addition to guards TyShwan Edmondson (Hopkinsville, Ky./University Heights Academy) and Quincy Roberts (Harrisburg, Pa./Harrisburg), who both signed in late April.

QUEENS, N.Y. (May 29, 2008) - St. John's University is proud to announce its All-Century Team, comprised of 50 legends from the men's basketball program's first 100 years on the hardwood.

After the top five in the final rankings, there were a few schools that hovered around the .500 mark for most of the season, only to come out on the short end so to speak. But that doesn’t mean that this season was a complete failure for teams such as LIU, Fairfield and Yale. The Blackbirds finished dead even at 15-15, their first non-losing record 1997-98.
