St. John’s is back in Vegas for the Players Era Festival, but fans beware—this tournament’s late-night schedule could keep you up way past bedtime. Their opener against Oregon starts no earlier than 10:30 PM ET, and with games packed just 30 minutes apart, expect even later starts. A win could send them to Thanksgiving Day action around 4 PM ET, but a loss might push them into an 11:30 PM ET showdown with Texas Tech or Louisville. If they keep rolling, semifinals hit Friday night at 11:30 PM ET, and the championship caps off Saturday at 10:30 PM ET. If they stumble, their final game could be as early as 3 PM or as late as 8:30 PM ET. Last year, they went 1-2—losing close to Iowa State, beating Baylor, then falling to Auburn. This year’s marathon schedule? Don’t sleep on it.

Tounde Yessoufou, the former Baylor guard who shocked scouts by withdrawing from the NBA Draft, is headed to St. John’s — and the Big East is already buzzing. A defensive menace with heart and versatility, he’s expected to thrive under Rick Pitino’s system, averaging 17 points and nearly 6 rebounds last season. With a chance to be Big East Player of the Year and a potential lottery pick in 2027, Yessoufou could reignite St. John’s legacy — and lead them back to national relevance.
