'St. John's Red Storm Basketball Tickets'

'Fans who appreciate the history of college basketball will remember the St. John's Red Storm teams of the 1980s, when the school was the perfect foil for the dominant Georgetown Hoyas' squads. With coach Lou Carnesecca and the signature sweaters he wore for good luck, St. John's was a power in the Big East. The team began to recapture some of its previous magic last season by making its first return to the NCAA Tournament since 2015. The players of the Red Storm have begun to reclaim their title as the undisputed kings of New York City basketball and are restoring some buzz to their games at Madison Square Garden. Now, the team enters a new era under Head Coach Mike Anderson with a team featuring plenty of newcomers. Anderson, who most recently led the Arkansas Razorbacks for eight seasons, brings a physical style of play to Queens, and the Red Storm will be playing aggressive basketball.
