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.

We sat in handicap seating and the transport people as well as the ushers were fabulous. Thank you.
Amazing ! I’m coming France and it was m’y first basketball match in direct !!!
Back when I had season tickets in section 118, I had an incredible view. So I thought seats in the 200s (all I could get and all I could afford at ridiculous resale prices) would be fine. At least it’s not the 400 section, I thought. Wrong. I think section 221 row 25 is actually the old 400 section. I fell victim to MSG seat rebranding. We were behind a catwalk so our view of the JUMBO-tron aka Garden Vision was impeded, impeded in such a way that a tv came out of the ceiling just for our section. I watched the whole game on this tv because the court was the size of a Saltine cracker. I would have forgotten all this if St. John’s won, of course. But that didn’t happen…this time.
Excellent experience from buying the tickets to the amazing time at the game .went with my daughter to celebrate her birthday.She was so happy.thanks Ticketmaster
I haven't been to MSG in years ... But wow. They remodeled and did a wonderful job. Very clean, safe and easy to navigate. I wouldn't hesitate coming back again. Outside?? Meh ..
What a game, and have gone to the garden with my nephews for years. It was such a great experience.
SJU alumni class of ‘71 and haven’t been to an in person game in many years. Excited to see the Johnnies having an excellent season under Coach Pitino. Brought back memories of basketball games of the late 60’s.
Exciting Game at MSG. St. John’s played an amazing game! SJU fought till the bitter end. Lost by only one point. MSG is a great venue.. we had Carnigne Deli for lunch. Delicious sandwich. My only complaint with MSG. When you buy a $6 bottle of water they take the cap off and dispose of it. Annoying
Great seats , great game and great atmosphere at the Garden . Will do it again for sure
