The early theme of this St. John’s season has been its resilience. 

A day after Zuby Ejiofor’s two missed free throws in the final seconds contributed to St. John’s loss to Baylor, the Red Storm fans had his back. 

Rick Pitino was furious with the officials’ call to ice Zuby Ejiofor at the free-throw line by going to replay in the final seconds of St. John’s loss.

If Sunday against New Mexico was St. John’s wading out of the kiddie end of the pool, then Thursday night it will find itself in the deep end.

Unprompted, coach Rick Pitino said the highly regarded, four-star prospect could have a role in the 22nd-ranked Johnnies’ opener in the Baha Mar Hoops Championship.

St. John’s will get an up close look at Baylor star V.J. Edgecomboe, the one that got away, when the two teams battle on Thursday night.

Here are The Post’s college football rankings following Week 12.

It will be a family divided Sunday afternoon at the Garden. 

The Nets got back key players Friday night but lost their starting center for at least a week.

The start has been fun. The national ranking is good for optics. But now we begin to find out about Rick Pitino’s Johnnies.
