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. The Red Storm are five-time champions of the National Invitation Tournament (1943, 1944, 1959, 1965 and 1989) and have also had success in the NCAA tournament, reaching the Final Four in 1952 and 1985 and losing the 1952 final to Kansas.
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 team. Since 1979, St. John's basketball has been synonymous with Big East basketball, winning five conference regular-season championships and three 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 2019, St. John's reached their first NCAA Tournament since 2015.

St. John's at the Garden vs. anyone is always fun but since Fordham is another school in the city it was fun to see the turnout & watch the rivalry. The Rutgers Iona game was a little boring & one-sided however.
Although the Redmen(yes) won the game and the Mountaineeres were pretty flat, this was a boring event and display from the once exciting St Johns team. Maybe I am thinking too long ago. Seats were reasonably priced, MSG was barely populated but the game ended and I ran into a friend of mine from long ago. It wasn't a total loss.
The game was exciting. Notre Dame trailed the whole game and then came on late in the second half, with a chance to tie at the buzzer, but missed the three-point attempt. Despite being upstairs, the seats turned out to be excellent, for a relatively reasonable price. My son and I were pleasantly surprised. There were even TV monitors in front of the first row seats. We were in the second row, but still could view those monitors pretty clearly. An enjoyable day.
The seats were a fantastic value and it turned out to be the best Johnnies win of the season. A++++
Great Game!! Love the Garden but was way over-priced.
St Johns win was a good thing for my son. They are his favorite team and it was his first game at with them at the Gardens. Congrats to the team
Both St. John and Notre Dame players played an awesome game. I was at the edge of my seat most of the time! Thank you Ticketmaster for the 2 for 1 tickets, could not have afforded other wise Kudos to you !
Anytime St. John's win, it's a good game. And it was a good game!
Great view of the court from the 300 level. Good ticket price for a college basketball game.
great game... SU was awesome...almost all SU fans !! MSG is awesome !!!
This was a phenomenal game. There was so much action. I could reach my hand out and touch the players as they went back into the locker room. Great seats and a great time.
Its Great to Watch Syracuse Destroy St. Johns Year After Year..And even Better To See it in Person
Concessions were closed throughout the upper levels of MSG. This was a sold out game. C'mon MSG, plan ahead please.
... And Not Last Basketball Game. It's was Great. Good Game and nice timeout Shows! I recommend ist all to my Friends!
Good game, but the team I was cheering for to win lost. All in all good experience though.
Despite the weather, the Villanova - St. John's game was exciting as two young teams went down the wire. Game settled in OT, and the crowd was great
The Garden is very clean, the workers are all polite and professional. Easy to get to and no problems.
Great game but when St Johns went up 10 points with about 5 minutes left - they let up on their attack and Nova ended up coming back and tying it up with the eventual win in OT! Great game though - typical BIG EAST BASKETBALL!!!
Went to St Johns vs. Villanova Bball game - Garden is easy to get to, although there is major construction going on right now outside. I would really like to see a politician pass a law that makes them breakdown the costs and profits built into a $10 beer!! I had great seats, but they were behind the St Johns student section, where for some reason they choose to not sit down for the entire game. I do not know why the ushers don't simply tell them to sit down!! The students standing do limit views of action under the basket. So for a paying customer this is not an exemplary experience that a company like MSG is supposed to try and provide for their customers. Hey MSG, I could only give you 4 stars because of this lack of controlling your usher employees.
On holiday in NYC, had never seen a basketball game before. Great experience!! Would definitely return to Madison Square Gardens, atmosphere was amazing! Well played Georgetown!
