St. John's Red Storm Men's Basketball History
St. John's University played its first men’s basketball game in 1907. In 1910-11, St. John's went 11-0 and were retroactively awarded a national championship by the Helms Athletic Foundation. Across 30 appearances in the NCAA March Madness tournament, the Red Storm reached the Final Four in 1952 and 1985 and lost the National Championship game to Kansas in 1952. St. John’s has also had success in the National Invitation Tournament, winning five times in 1943, 1944, 1959, 1965 and 1989.
Lou Carnesecca famously coached St. John's from 1965 to 1992, except for three seasons when he coached the New York Nets of the ABA, and never had a losing season with the Red Storm basketball team. Since 1979, St. John's basketball has been synonymous with Big East basketball, winning six conference regular-season championships and four Big East tournaments in that span. Behind the play of Chris Mullin, St. John's became one of three Big East teams, along with Villanova and Georgetown, to play in the 1985 Final Four. In 2025, St. John's reached their first NCAA Tournament since 2019 and captured both the conference regular season and tournament titles.

Always great to see St. John’s at MSG ; starting seeing the Redmen in the 80’s during my college days ; just great memories; I was present to see St. John’s win the big East tournament in 1983 and last year 2024 ; the garden is great venue for basketball ; they could open more concession stands though
Fun atmosphere from a Bama fan. Always wanted to attend an event at MSG. Folks were really nice and plenty of food and beverage options
I went to 5 college basketball games last year; including a regional final for NCAA tourney ; 200 section midcourt offers a great view for a lower price
Enjoyable experience: good seats, video screens with replays and stat, fun entertainment during the breaks in action.
It was so refreshing to see the school spirit especially since they were all wins. Go Johnnies hoping for a national title this coming season.
Seats were great and the game was awesome. The tickets were presents for Christmas and we had no idea we would be at the game clinching the division!!
Great Seats....Great Show Lets go St. Johns Basketball.....................................................
The staff that helped us buy drinks, food, etc.. were nice and helpful.
Seats were great and the atmosphere in MSG was incredible. Great day with family and friends.
Sat in Section 223 Row 4 … avoid these seats if you are taller than 4 1/2 feet tall. Good view but no legroom whatsoever. A warning should be posted when purchasing tickets.
