Thank goodness, because I was getting a little bit worried because I was talking to Dove outside, and Dove said, have you seen Mink yet?

I said, I have not seen Mink. I heard he was coming in around 9 o'clock, and then Dove said, I heard 8.30. And I'm like, oh, my goodness, this is one of these train crash things that he went through, whatever the hell else. I mean, because sometimes you get bad luck with the transportation. but here he is for the last couple minutes of the show.

We're welcome in WFAN, legend John Miko John.

Good morning.

What's happening? with the transportation. But here he is for the last couple minutes of the show. We're welcome in WFAN

legend John. Mayco John. Good morning. What's happening, man? This is my yearly. I've been gone for

five years, and this is my yearly visit to the fan, and I'm extremely happy to do. So everything's

going well, and you had a game. St. John's played Michigan on Saturday. And how was that?

Let's put it this way. These are not exhibition games. I mean, you had Purdue and Kentucky,

Indiana and Baylor on Sunday. And of course, St. John's and Michigan, Madison Square Garden for an

exhibition game in college basketball.

And in, and how many people showed up?

Maybe 15 grand.

I'd say about 12, 12 and a half or something like that.

Well, listen, Rick Petino is trying to build something here.

Oh, he's building it.

I know he is.

And, you know, to bring in a school like Michigan and play at Madison Square Garden, that's how you get people excited about playing for your university. That and money. And they did not play like an exhibition game, like walking the ball up the court. We're going to see. Well, you're going to tell me Rick Bettino is going to let his guys walk the ball up to court. No, no. I mean, we're talking full core pressure. Everything, they were designed to win the game. And, you know, they came up short, obviously in overtime. But there was a lot to take on a part of both teams. Michigan's going to be really good. Yeah, so we're going to have Rick Patino in next week,

which will be great to talk to him,

and we spent a little time with Rick a couple weeks ago.

But give me your early scouting report on this group

and why all of us St. John's fans should be excited about them.
