A start of a new season in Queens has brought new players and new uniforms to St. John's but the product on the court was very similar from a season ago. The Johnnies were sluggish and cold offensively to start its exhibition slate against Towson before turning up the defensive pressure and getting timely buckets after halftime, turning an 8-point deficit into a 10-point win, 73-63.
St. John's transfer RJ Luis said he's "still all-in" on staying in the NBA draft, despite also entering the transfer portal, indicating his strong commitment to his NBA aspirations.
This past season for the St. John's Red Storm men's basketball team will forever be remembered in the program's history. Under the leadership of head coach Rick Pitino, St. John's earned the Big East Tournament title and entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed.
