NextImg:St. John’s latest important step matters — but guarantees nothing

Consider Monday’s national ranking a first step. A start. A beginning to what St. John’s and its fans hope will be a long-awaited breakthrough season.

It doesn’t mean this program will reach the main draw of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade. That it will advance in March Madness for the first time in a quarter century. That it is a legitimate Big East contender.

That is all to be determined. A number next to its name after two games — 22 in this case — doesn’t mean this will be the year everyone in Queens has been waiting forever for.
