The Red Storm brought MSG to its feet on Sunday as it posted an
impressive win over then No. 9 Notre Dame.
Thanks to second-half heroics from seniors D.J. Kennedy and
Malik Boothe, St. John’s jumped out to a double-digit lead on the
Irish and never looked back. It was the Red Storm’s second win this
season against a nationally-ranked opponent.
St. John’s has continued to make national headlines for its
strong play. The Red Storm’s impressive 4-2 BIG EAST record earned
it 27 points in this week’s
Associated Press Top 25 Poll, ranking the team 36th nationally.
The RPI (ratings percentage index) national rankings, which take
into account strength of schedule, place the Red Storm at No.
13.
With
the men’s basketball team off to its best start in years, this is
one season you don’t want to miss. Be sure to pick up tickets to upcoming Red
Storm games and support the Johnnies as they look to keep up their
winning ways.
Also check out our
