St. John's NCAA Seed Shocks Fans, MWP Predicts Championship
17 Mar
Summary
- Metta World Peace believes St. John's will win the National Championship.
- Fans and World Peace questioned the team's 5-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
- St. John's had a strong record against Big East opponents this season.
Metta World Peace, a former St. John's standout, expressed disbelief at the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee's decision to seed his alma mater as a 5. He believes the team was deserving of a higher seed, perhaps even a one-seed, citing their strong performance throughout the season.
The Johnnies, who also secured the regular season Big East title, were a 5-seed despite recently defeating UCONN, a 2-seed, in the Big East Championship game. This surprising seeding places them in a challenging 5-12 matchup against Northern Iowa, with potential future games against strong opponents like Kansas and Duke.
