Notes

^A. The Helms Athletic Foundation retrospectively selected St. John's as its national champion for the 1910–11 season in 1957.

^B. The Premo-Porretta Power Poll retrospectively selected St. John's as its national champion for the 1910–11 season in 1995.

^C. Although an independent at the time, St. John's participated from 1975 to 1979 in the end-of-season ECAC tournaments organized by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (a loosely organized sports federation of Eastern colleges and universities) for ECAC members which otherwise had no access to an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I tournament. Each of these regional tournaments gave its winner an automatic bid to that year's NCAA tournament in the same manner as conference tournaments of conventional conferences. St. John's played in the ECAC Metro Region Tournament in each of these five seasons, winning it in 1977 and 1978.

^D. St. John's vacated 47 games (46 wins and one loss) from 2000 to 2004 after Abe Keita was ruled ineligible. Official records are 5–15 for 2000–01, 7–11 for 2001–02, 1–13 for 2002–03 and 0–4 for 2003–04.^[7]

^E Jarvis was fired on December 19, 2003 after beginning the season 2–4; assistant Kevin Clark finished the season, going 4–17 at the helm.

^F. Official record at St. John's is 68–77 (53–32 Big East) not counting vacated games.^[7]^[8]

^G. Lavin coached the first four games of the season, going 2–2. Dunlap went 11–17 over the remainder of the year.
