St. John's incredible NCAA Tournament run comes to a heartbreaking end after an 80-75 Sweet 16 loss to Duke.

We react to the Red Storm's magical season, ask whether Rick Pitino can sustain this level of success going forward, and discuss what this means for the future of the program.

Plus, UConn is now one win away from yet another Final Four appearance.

We also shift to Queens as the Mets prepare for Game 2 after an impressive Opening Day win.

And yes… we debate the legendary 9-9-9 challenge at Citi Field.

The Mets didn't just win on Opening Day… they made a statement.

In one of the most shocking starts to a season you'll see, the Mets jumped all over Paul Skenes and knocked him out in the FIRST inning. The reigning Cy Young winner had no answers as the Mets lineup came out aggressive, disciplined, and ready to prove something.

And then came the moment…

Carson Benge, making his Major League debut, steps up and delivers a HOME RUN — instantly creating one of the best Opening Day stories in recent Mets history.

This isn't last year's team.

New faces. New energy. New expectations.

We break it all down — from the early offensive explosion to what this means moving forward. Is this Mets team for real?

If this is a sign of what's to come… buckle up.

All that and more on Locked Up Sports.

St. John's suffers one of the most shocking losses in program history, falling 72–40 to UConn in a complete offensive collapse.

The Red Storm shot just 19% from the field (11-for-56), missed their final 24 shots, and didn't score a single field goal for the final 17+ minutes. It is officially the lowest-scoring game ever by a Rick Pitino coached team and the worst loss to UConn in school history.
