Summary

Sports Radio Personality Joe Benigno joins Sid to talk about WFAN “heydays,” before focusing on college basketball, arguing St. John’s was “screwed” with a 5-seed sent to San Diego while UConn, which St. John’s beat twice including by 20, got a 2-seed; he attributes it to the committee disliking Rick Pitino due to past NCAA issues. Benigno says St. John’s must reach the Sweet 16 after winning 19 of 20 and believes they could make a Final Four, while predicting a No. 1 seed likely wins the tournament and highlighting Iowa State as a strong team. He also discusses the Knicks’ playoff-focused outlook after a close win over a short-handed Warriors, critiques college sports realignment, and recaps Team USA’s 2–1 WBC win over the Dominican Republic featuring key defense, relief pitching, and late strikeouts of Soto and Machado.
