00:03 Creighton being another.
00:05 Creighton playing in a loaded Big East this year, Donnie,
00:09 that now includes a Rick Pitino led St. John's basketball program.
00:14 The Red Storm get their season underway tonight as well, Donnie,
00:18 as they take on Stony Brook in a battle of New York.
00:21 What do you think we're gonna see from the Johnnies as nearly a 20 point favorite?
00:26 >> Yeah, tough scene here for I guess the Iona backers of the past.
00:30 Because as we all know, and we have a guy at Iona who's on the air with us,
00:33 that tells us, man, Rick Pitino really saved our program.
00:36 It's gonna be tough to get on with Iona basketball once the post-Pitino
00:40 hero kicks in here.
00:41 Now having said that, I think they're gonna win easily tonight.
00:43 I'm looking forward to, by the way, Pitino back in New York City in that recruiting
00:47 ground here.
00:47 It might take him a couple years to really get things cooking, but
00:50 he's always fun here.
00:51 Pitino in national tournaments here, not the NIT.
00:56 Yeah, this is gonna be a good thing if St. John's get back on their feet.
00:59 >> The 11 team Big East Conference this year is absolutely stacked.
01:04 You saw some of the big coaching moves of this past offseason.
01:08 Ed Cooley leaves his hometown.
01:10 He leaves Providence to become the head man at Georgetown.
01:13 There's some victory all there.
01:15 Kim English, a step up from George Mason, now to PC.
01:19 The Big East is loaded.
01:21 Creighton gets started tonight at home at the link, or
01:25 right now I guess it's called the clinic out in Omaha, Nebraska.
