The St. John's University men's basketball program is having quite a year.
They already claimed the Big East regular season conference title. They're undefeated at home this season. And they're currently ranked #6 in the nation. On Saturday, March 8 the team wraps up its regular season against Marquette in Milwaukee. And then it's on to the Big East tournament and of course the NCAA's annual March Madness. James Williams is a journalism student at St. John's and sports editor for the student paper, The Torch. He joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to talk about the team's resurgence.
UPDATE: St. John's ended up finishing the regular season in wild fashion, beating Marquette with a last-second basket in overtime, 86-84.
