No. 12 Red Storm Faces No. 13 Pitt On BIG EAST Tournament Tuesday • Head coach Steve Lavin’s young St. John’s basketball team (13-18, 6-12 BIG EAST), with its “Fresh Five” starting lineup and its rotation of six first-year players that STJ In The BIG EAST finished tied for 11th in the BIG EAST Championship Conference Standings, begins play (1980-2012) on Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the 2012 BIG EAST Championship as the No. 12 seed. All-Time Appearances 29th in 2012 The Red Storm meets 13th-seeded Pitt Overall W/L 25-25 (16-15, 5-13 BIG EAST) for the second Seed #12 (0-0, First Time) time in six days in the opening round First Round Record 5-6 matchup. The contest airs nationally Quarterfi nal Appearances 20 (11-9) on ESPN2 and via ESPN3, with Dave Semifinal Appearances 11 (5-6) Pasch and Doris Burke calling the Finals Appearances 5 (3-2) action and Andy Katz reporting from the sidelines. The matchup can be Championships 3 (1983, 1986, 2000) heard live on the official radio flagship of St. John’s Basketball, Bloomberg Radio 1130-AM, and on RedStormSports.com (subscription), with veteran play-by-play announcer John Minko and “The Coach” Tim O’Toole. • St. John’s “Fresh Five” starting lineup is 5-6 after its 78-62 win over West Virginia (Jan. 25), an 8781 BIG EAST road win at DePaul (Feb. 1), a 66-63 win over UCLA (Feb. 18), the 79-72 matchup vs. DePaul (Feb. 20) and a 61-58 victory over then-No. 20/18 Notre Dame (Feb. 25). A five freshman starting lineup is believed to be a first for the St. John’s program since 1927-28, when three original “Wonder Five” members Mac Kinsbrunner, Jack “Rip” Gerson and Max Posnack first took the floor for legendary St. John’s coach and Naismith Hall of Famer James “Buck” Freeman. • St. John’s is now 400-268 (.599) all-time at The World’s Most Famous Arena, which has served as a home court for STJ Basketball for more than 77 years. The Red Storm defeated Fordham in its first true home contest at The Garden this season on Dec. 17 as part of the MSG Holiday Festival, in addition to its victory over WVU (Jan. 25), its win over Lavin’s former squad, UCLA (Feb. 18) and its victory over then No. 20/18 Notre Dame (Feb. 25). • Making its 29th appearance in 2012, the Red Storm owns a 25-25 record all-time in 28 appearances in the BIG EAST Championship. St. John’s has captured three titles — in 1983, the first BIG EAST Championship played at The Garden, and also in 1986 and in 2000.

ST. JOHN’S VS. PITT — 2012 BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP • P. 2

Storm Tracker • Rated as high as the nation’s No. 38 prospect overall and the No. 10 small forward by recruiting services, Queens’-own Moe Harkless is a complete basketball player and elite local talent. The 6-8, 208-pound swingman spent his 2010-11 senior season at South Kent School (Conn.). An athletic, rangy shooter with great length on defense, he was the 2009-10 Daily News Queens High School Player of the Year and was a member of the Daily News’ and NY Post’s all-metro teams in 2008-09 and 2009-10. The All-BIG EAST honorable mention selection, All-Rookie Team member and two-time BIG EAST Rookie of the Week is second in the conference and ninth in the nation in freshman scoring at 15.2 points per game, and is tied as the conference’s top rebounding rookie at 8.6 boards per outing. His scoring average ranks 13th among all BIG EAST players, his rebounds per game rate is tied for sixth, his 1.5 blocked shots are tied for seventh and his 1.65 steals and 36.0 minutes per contest average are 10th. His 11 double-doubles rank tied for third in the BIG EAST this season and are tied for 10th among all active BIG EAST players. He recorded six double-doubles in BIG EAST action. • Rookie guard D’Angelo Harrison, a 6-3, 202-pound athlete from Missouri City, Texas, finished his prep tenure rated as high as the nation’s No. 9 shooting guard and No. 40 overall prospect by recruiting services. The two-time all-state selection is renowned for his explosive first step, long-range game and his ability to fill up the stat sheet. With his 12th 20-point performance of the season on Feb. 29 at Pitt (21 pts), Harrison — the BIG EAST’s freshman scoring leader who currently ranks third in the nation among rookies at 17.2 ppg — established a new St. John’s freshman scoring record, which currently stands at 532 points and counting. Tied as the BIG EAST’s long-distance leader with 2.45 made 3-point field goals per game (2.72 in league contests, T-1st), he has also established a new STJ mark for 3-pointers made in a single-season, currently with 76 on a fourth-ranked 201 attempts. Harrison averaged 18.5 ppg in league play, third

among all BIG EAST players, with the fifth-best 3-point field goal percentage in league play (.402). His 78.6 percent clip from the free throw line in league contests ranked 10th and his 1.7 steals tied for ninth. He is averaging 20.1 ppg over the last 12 games while drilling 44.0 percent of his 3-point attempts. Junior big man God’sgift Achiuwa, a 6-8, 236-pound bruising athlete with an 87-inch wingspan from Port Harcourt, River States, Nigeria via Erie Community College (N.Y.), is a 2011 first team NJCAA All-America and a two-time JUCO All-America selection overall. He is third on the squad in scoring (9.5 ppg) and his team-best 55.6 percent shooting from the floor is fourth among all league players. He went 6-for-6 against Lehigh for 21 points (Nov. 9), 7-for-7 at DePaul (Feb. 1) for 15 points, and recently, 8-of-9 at Pitt (Feb. 29) for 17 points. Freshman swingman Sir’Dominic Pointer, a 6-5, 196-pound native of Detroit, Mich., was rated as high as the No. 8 small forward in his class and the No. 24 prospect overall by recruiting services. His 1.8 steals per game across 18 league contests ranked sixth among all BIG EAST players and first among conference rookies. A smooth, deft ballhandler ranked as high as the No. 41 shooting guard in his recruiting class, 6-2, 180-pound Chicago native Phil Greene has the ability to get into the lane and pull up, or dish and create for others. A hard-nosed defender, Greene adds length and speed to “Chicago toughness” which gives him the ability to guard any perimeter player. He has averaged 10.1 ppg over the last 12 games of the “Fresh Five Era”, shooting 37.5 percent from 3-point range and dishing 45 assists (3.8 per game) with only 21 turnovers. St. John’s received an early Christmas present on Dec. 21 as rookie forward and Top 100 prospect Amir Garrett was declared eligible and joined the squad. Garrett, who was selected by the Cincinnati Reds for his 96 m.p.h. southpaw fastball, is averaging 9.6 ppg over the last 12 contests while shooting 45.1 percent from the field with 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals. He is averaging 12.0 ppg over the last four contests with a careerhigh 18 in a Queens victory over DePaul (Feb. 20).

HEAD COACH STEVE LAVIN

Steve Lavin Head Coach Chapman ‘88 2nd Season At St. John’s St. John’s head men’s basketball coach Steve Lavin has officially been a New Yorker for less than two years, but in that time, he has taken the Big Apple by storm, and has given new meaning to the moniker “the city that never sleeps.” Lavin — whose eight-year head coaching record includes seven NCAA Tournament appearances, five trips to the NCAA Round of 16 and seven seasons of 21 wins or more — became the 19th head men’s basketball coach in St. John’s 102-plus years of storied hardwood tradition on March 30, 2010. Trading in his broadcaster’s microphone for the whistle and clipboard once again after seven years as one of ESPN’s premier college basketball analysts, Lavin spent his first year in the Empire State revitalizing the foremost college basketball program in the city that has called the game its own for more than a century. Working strategically, Lavin has breathed new life into St. John’s proud program. Lavin first assembled an elite and specialized basketball staff that is among the NCAA’s finest, comprised of individuals with NBA coaching experience, a history of national and

city championships and roots that have sprung up from each corner of New York City’s rich basketball culture and extend not only across the nation, but across the globe. A diligent and focused recruiter with a blue-collar work ethic, and two No. 1 recruiting classes and one No. 2 class to his credit, Lavin arrived in New York and was faced with the daunting task of filling 10 available scholarships for 2011-12. Shining through a situation unprecedented in the history of contemporary college basketball – he and his staff met the challenge with passion and precision, and landed the consensus No. 3 recruiting class in the nation for 2011-12, a group that ranks among the most-heralded in school history. The first year of The Lavin Era included a 21-12 overall record, marking St. John’s most wins since the 2002-03 season, with six Top 25 victories, four over Top 10 opponents and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. The USBWA District II Coach of the Year, Lavin transformed a team that finished in 13th place in the BIG EAST Conference in 2009-10 at 6-12 to a squad that tied for third in 2010-11 at 12-6 –only twice before has a jump of such magnitude occurred in BIG EAST Conference history. The Red Storm finished its season ranked 18th in the Associated Press Top 25, marking the first time it qualified for the postseason as a ranked team since 2000-01. The Red Storm, which posted a 7-1 record in eight regular season games at Madison Square Garden (capacity: 19,353) and a 5-2 record on campus at Carnesecca Arena (capacity: 5,602) saw its home attendance climb by 38.1 percent, marking the fourth-largest increase in NCAA Division I men’s basketball.

HEAD COACH STEVE LAVIN

During Lavin’s tenure as the head coach at UCLA, he was one of only two coaches in the country, along with Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, to lead his team to five NCAA regional semifinal games (Sweet 16s) in six years (`02, ‘01, ‘00, ‘98, ‘97). As UCLA’s head coach, his career record in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament was 10-1. Lavin’s winning percentage (90.9 percent) in the first two rounds of the tournament is second only to Dean Smith in NCAA Tournament history. In his inaugural season as head coach, Lavin directed the Bruins to the 1997 Pac-10 Championship and the NCAA Regional Final (Elite Eight). In 2001, after the Bruins finished 23-9, Lavin was honored as the Pac-10 Coach of the Year. He is the only head coach in NCAA men’s basketball history to lead his team to victory over the No. 1 team in the country in four consecutive collegiate seasons (Arizona ‘03, Kansas ‘02, Stanford ‘01, Stanford ‘00). During his time as the head coach or as an assistant at both Purdue and UCLA, Lavin’s teams qualified for 13 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances (1989-2002). Lavin was an assistant coach on the Bruins’ 1995 national championship team that completed the season with a 32-1 record. As the head coach at UCLA, Lavin recruited and signed the No. 1 rated recruiting class in the country in both 1998 and 2001. He totaled seven McDonald’s High School All-Americans during his tenure. At least one of his former UCLA players or recruits was selected in the NBA draft for a run of 10 straight years (1997-2006). As a result, the Bruins own the longest national streak of any college or university for consecutive years with a NBA draft pick. Seven of Lavin’s former Bruin recruits or players are currently members of NBA teams, including Trevor Ariza (New Orleans Hornets), Baron Davis (New York Knicks) and Jason Kapono (L.A. Lakers). Lavin is frequently an invited keynote speaker throughout the country for business, community and collegiate events. He addresses a wide range of topics including effective communication, motivation, management, recruiting, leadership, and naturally, college basketball. On Aug. 17, 2007, Lavin was married to Mary Ann Jarou, a professional actress who has made television series appearances on “How I Met Your Mother,” “General Hospital,” “Entourage,” “Brothers and Sisters,” “Secret Girlfriend,” and appropriately, “King of Queens.” Lavin’s father, Cap Lavin, was inducted into the San Francisco Prep Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992 and is a 1997 honoree of the University of San Francisco Hall of Fame. Cap Lavin was a three-time (1946-48) all-city performer at St. Ignatius High School, and went on to earn three varsity letters (195052) and serve as the basketball team’s captain at the University of San Francisco. While at San Francisco, Cap Lavin played for two Naismith Hall of Fame coaches, Pete Newell (1949-50) and Phil Woolpert (1950-52). A collegiate guard, Newell has described Cap Lavin as a “ballhandler way ahead of his time, one of the great dribblers and passers in the game.”

THE ST. JOHN’S BASKETBALL STAFF: ELITE AND SPECIALIZED • Head coach Steve Lavin has assembled an elite and specialized coaching staff that ranks among the finest in the country. With three former NBA assistants intermingled with a number of native New Yorkers, St. John’s is poised to reap the benefits of their decades of experience for years to come. • Lavin On Dunlap: “I have known Mike Dunlap since I was a student-athlete at Chapman University, and over the past 26 years he has developed into one of the game’s most-respected teachers. Mike is a sound tactician with a deep understanding of the game and brings a wealth of experience to our staff. The addition of Coach Dunlap gives our program one of the most diverse and specialized coaching staffs in college basketball.” • Lavin On Chiles: “Tony is as talented, capable and respected as any assistant coach in the country. After delving through all the information during the search process for my staff, it became clear that Coach Chiles would be a perfect first choice as an assistant coach.” • Lavin On Hines: “Rico is a talented, natural-born teacher and coach with a relentless work ethic. He is one of the true rising stars in the coaching profession. His talents in on-court player skill development and his reach as a north-to-south, coast-to-coast recruiter are among the definite benefits he brings to our staff at St. John’s.” • Lavin On Hicks: “When I came to St. John’s as head coach, one of my objectives was to put together a staff that has a strong understanding of New York City and the basketball landscape of the greater metropolitan area. Moe Hicks has a great sense for New York and was one of the city’s most accomplished coaches. Moe developed both leadership and administrative skills while guiding one of the most successful high school programs in the country. We are pleased to have Moe Hicks join our St. John’s basketball family.”

2011-12

• Lavin On Keady: “Coach Keady’s main responsibility with our basketball program will be to observe practices, contribute in our coaching staff meetings and practice planning. I wanted that grandfather presence with our team. Coach Keady has the experience, energy and a great deal of perspective to offer us. He was the most influential person in developing my coaching philosophy. The timing and the fit just seemed right for us here.” • Lavin On Wrobel: “In my 24-year association with the world of college basketball, Derrick would have to rank among the most talented, diligent and passionate individuals I have come across. His vision, combined with his exceptional organizational skills, are critical components as we continue to move the St. John’s basketball program forward.”

RED STORM

In The Community

The Red Storm basketball team and head coach Steve Lavin are active members of the St. John’s University and greater New York City community. The men’s basketball team is involved in extensive charity, fundraising and public speaking events throughout the year, particularly in the offseason. Lavin has been involved with numerous charities throughout his coaching career, including Coaches vs. Cancer, City of Hope, the Jimmy V Foundation, the USO and the Special Olympics. Since arriving at St. John’s, Lavin and wife Mary Jarou have adopted the Bread & Life Soup Kitchen in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Joined in an October ceremony with Brooklynborn redshirt senior Rob Thomas, Steve Starker of BTIG Brokerage and Anthony Butler, Executive Director of St. John’s Bread & Life, the Lavins have made a $35,000, multi-year pledge to aid New York City’s homeless and hungry. St. John’s men’s basketball players work with University Campus Ministry in outreach efforts that include the St. Nicholas of Tolentine shelter, Habitat for Humanity, the St. John’s Bread and Life Soup Kitchen and other organizations. At Thanksgiving time, the Red Storm squad, coaching staff and NBC-4’s Bruce Beck and his family spend a day at the St. John’s Bread and Life Soup Kitchen. Donning aprons and rubber gloves, the coaches and student-athletes provide turkey dinners to thousands of homeless and underprivileged Brooklyn residents. St. John’s held its 10th-annual University Service Day on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011, and Red Storm athletes, coaches and athletics department personnel were out in full force to lend a hand. The men’s and women’s basketball teams hosted St. John’s first-annual “Dribble For The Cure,” partnering with the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and raising more than $21,000 to aid research and awareness efforts for pediatric cancer in the New York area.

RED STORM

What They’re Saying

“Steve was brought up in a basketball family and basketball is a way of life for him. He is an outstanding coach. He just has a good feel for the game because he was brought up in the game. It is nice to see him back on the sidelines where he belongs. He will do an excellent job energizing the St. John’s fan base and leading the program for years to come.” — Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University “I wish Coach Lav nothing but the best. He’s always been so supportive of his former players, and I know he truly cares about anyone that plays for him, both personally and professionally. I can easily say I think his new team will instantly take to his personality and passion for the game. He has had time since he last coached to build his game plan for his style. I love Coach Lav and St. John’s is a great fit for him. I am totally on board to support him and I think it’s great for college basketball to have him on the sidelines again.” — Baron Davis, L.A. Clippers “I always enjoyed the competition with Steve when UCLA, Stanford and Arizona were battling for the top spot in the Pac-10. I followed him as an analyst and always thought he did a great job, but I think when coaching is in your blood, you have to go back to it. It surprised me a little that he ended up on the East Coast, but he is an excellent national recruiter, and likes an uptempo game, so I knew that St. John’s would become a viable destination for New York City recruits, and other young basketball players throughout the nation. St. John’s alums are going to be very happy in no time.” — Lute Olson, Arizona “I heard that he was coming back and I thought ‘wow.’ He could really have an impact. The kids are going to love playing for him. They’re going to trust him. And once they have your trust, the sky is the limit. They’ll run through walls. It’s going to be fun to watch. He’s a great communicator. Parents will love him. Kids will trust him. As a recruiter he can be compared to none. This guy got Baron Davis and myself to commit five minutes apart from each other – a pair of point guards in the same class. He sold us on unity. He knows we all get better playing against each other at practice. It was a healthy competitive atmosphere. The first year with Coach Lav is going to be fun to watch. The buzz is going and once that starts going in New York City, you never know.” — Earl Watson, Utah Jazz

“The game has changed at St. John’s. No recruit is considered out of the Red Storm’s reach. No national power is not worth butting heads with.” — New York Post

St. John’s In The BIG EAST Championship Tournament

• The Red Storm makes its 29th all-time appearance in the BIG EAST Tournament in 2012, and its fifth in six seasons. A charter member of the BIG EAST Conference, St. John’s appeared in the first 24 conference tournaments, from 1980-2003. • St. John’s absence from the BIG EAST Tournament in 2005 was due to a self-imposed postseason ban, and with a 1-15 league record in 2004, a 5-11 conference mark in 2006 and a 5-13 slate in 2008, the team failed to qualify for the league championship. The 2006-07 Red Storm posted a 16-14 overall record and a 7-9 league mark to qualify for the tournament as the No. 11 seed, falling to sixth-seeded Marquette, 76-67. Each league team began participation in the championship affair beginning in 2009. • The Red Storm own a 25-25 record all-time in 28 appearances in the event. With a bye into the second round in 2011, a 65-63 win over Rutgers advanced St. John’s to its 20th all-time quarterfinals appearance. St. John’s prior quarterfinals came in 2003. • St. John’s has reached the semifinals 11 times, with its last semis appearance coming en route to the tournament title in 2000. • The Red Storm has made the championship game five times: 2000 (champions), 1999, 1986 (champions), 1985 and 1983 (champions).

BIG EAST Tournament Champions In 1983, 1986, 2000 • 1983 — The 1982-83 season was filled with superlative accomplishments. Led by head coach Lou Carnesecca, the Redmen marched to a record-breaking season, including the first-ever BIG EAST Tournament Championship for St. John’s in the first BIG EAST title event played at Madison Square Garden. In the BIG EAST Tournament, St. John’s beat Pittsburgh in the first round, and then topped Villanova in the semifinals. The championship game saw Chris Mullin score 24 points in an 85-77 win over Boston College. • 1986 — A year after a trip to the program’s second-ever appearance in the NCAA Final Four, if anyone was searching for “The Truth,” they found it. In just his second season at St. John’s, Walter “The Truth” Berry earned national player of the year honors — the second straight year a St. John’s player had done so, as Mullin took the award during the 1984-85 campaign – and led the team to a 31-5 record and the 1986 BIG EAST Tournament Championship. And while Berry was the leader of the team, it was Ron Rowan who came through in the Redmen’s biggest moment, sinking a 14-foot baseline jumper with eight seconds left to give St. John’s its first lead of the game at 70-69, in a win over Syracuse in the BIG EAST Championship. Berry blocked Dwayne “Pearl” Washington’s shot at the buzzer as St. John’s won the second of its three BIG EAST Tournament titles. • 2000 — The night of March 11, 2000, was not just any night for the St. John’s men’s basketball team. The Red Storm’s 80-70 win over Connecticut at Madison Square Garden gave the team its first BIG EAST Tournament Championship since 1986, but it was also the fitting end to a hectic season. St. John’s used a late run to beat Villanova in the opener and then came a heated rivalry-game with Miami. In a tight contest, sophomore forward Anthony Glover — who had missed his previous five attempts — hit two free throws with 2.2 seconds left to give St. John’s a 58-57 win over the Hurricanes and a spot in the championship game. In a rematch of the previous year’s championship game, Marvis “Bootsy” Thornton — who earned tournament MVP honors — scored 22 points to lead four players in double figures in an 80-70 win over UConn.

From “Wonder Five” To “Fresh Five” • St. John’s “Fresh Five” starting lineup of Phil Greene, D’Angelo Harrison, Moe Harkless, Sir’Dominic Pointer and Amir Garrett in 11 of the last 12 games is believed to be a first for the program since 1927-28. That season, three original “Wonder Five” members Mac Kinsbrunner, Jack “Rip” Gerson and Max Posnack first took the floor for legendary St. John’s coach and Naismith Hall of Famer James “Buck” Freeman. • The “Wonder Five” never won a national championship in their two seasons together but in that time they did manage to make St. John’s the darling of New York fans and bring the Redmen a national following. • Freeman went from St. John’s player to St. John’s coach over the summer of 1927 and the sport would never be the same. His first team featured freshmen Kinsbrunner, Gerson and Posnack with two other first-year players as starters. The team played a style that featured constant ball movement, including having the pivot touch it, and new plays such as the give-and-go. The Redmen won their first eight games that season and finished 18-4. The freshman class would lose that many games over the next three seasons, going 23-2, 23-1 and 21-1.

• Allie Shuckman joined the team in 1929-30. Matty Begovich started as a freshman the season after that and the Wonder Five was complete: Kinsbrunner — an amazing dribbler, Gerson — the spark plug on offense and defense, Schuckman — the shooter, Begovich — the pivot, and Posnack — the captain and the team’s best passer. • They captured New York’s imagination as a team of neighborhood kids playing basketball a different way, a fun way, a successful way. Defense was also a key for Freeman’s team and playing keep away was its most effective tactic as the Redmen often held teams without a field goal for long periods of time. • The team outgrew the buildings it played in and it was the Wonder Five who moved college basketball into the big arenas, specifically Madison Square Garden where a special charity game between St. John’s and CCNY was arranged. The Redmen beat the Beavers 17-9, their second win over CCNY that season. • The Wonder Five made its last appearance on March 4, 1931, and seniors Gerson, Kinsbrunner and Posnack went out with a 30-16 victory over Manhattan. Posnack was considered by many to be the best player college basketball had seen to that time and there was almost unanimous consent that the Wonder Five was the best team to have ever taken the court.

Harkless, Harrison Earn BIG EAST, All-Rookie Honors • St. John’s freshman swingman Moe Harkless was named a 2011-12 All-BIG EAST honorable mention selection and Harkless and classmate D’Angelo Harrison were tabbed to the 2011-12 All-Rookie team as voted upon by the league’s coaches and announced by the conference on March 3. • The two BIG EAST All-Rookie citations mark the first time a pair of St. John’s freshmen were honored since Zendon Hamilton and Felipe Lopez were named to the BIG EAST All-Rookie team in 1995. St. John’s only other rookie tandem to be honored in this way was Mark Jackson and Willie Glass in 1984. • The current Red Storm duo are both freshman All-America candidates and are the league favorites for the 2011-12 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year Award, which will be announced by the conference on Tuesday afternoon. • The honors are the latest in a series for St. John’s heralded freshman class. On Jan. 30 and Feb. 27, Harkless received BIG EAST Rookie of the Week honors after being tabbed to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for the week of Dec. 26-Jan. 1. On Jan. 9, Harrison became the first St. John’s player to be named BIG EAST Rookie of the Week since guard/forward Dexter Gray on Nov. 22, 2004. He was also named to the league’s honor roll on Feb. 6.

“Three-Angelo” Harrison Among STJ Rookie Scoring Leaders • After blazing past Erick Barkley’s 13-year-old freshman scoring record of 500 points, guard D’Angelo Harrison is the Red Storm’s outright leader in freshman scoring with 532 points and counting. • The sharpshooter’s mark now ranks St. John’s Freshman Scoring Leaders (Points) Season Points in front of Barkley (500 pts., 1998-99), Rank Name 1.

Lavin: Is it the shoes?

• St. John’s head coach Steve Lavin and his staff have been sans ties, and wearing their dazzling white Nike Air Force Ones, since 2011 Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend, and the Red Storm’s 93-78 victory over then No. 3/3 Duke on Jan. 30, 2011. • St. John’s is 23-22 since abandoning neckwear and dress shoes in favor of the “Nike uptowns,” including the black versions on 2011 Senior night. • Each year during Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend basketball coaches nationwide wear sneakers with their suits to demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society. Basketball fans are encouraged to also wear sneakers to games that weekend to show their support. Coaches vs. Cancer is a collaborative initiative of the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) that empowers coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. • Since joining St. John’s in late March of 2010, head coach Steve Lavin has helped raise more than $1,000,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer. • St. John’s sneakers have certainly generated awareness for the cause, but Lavin’s choice to continue the trend is mainly about comfort on the sidelines. • “It’s so basic but there isn’t anything more essential than breath and oxygen, and so I thought my decision making and clarity and everything was at a higher level when I didn’t have the tie on, and obviously I’d never coached a game without a tie on until that Duke basketball game. So it’s not the record or good luck, but I think our staff agrees we’re much more comfortable in terms of breathing and then the shoes allow you to move a little better on the sideline. If you slip you’re not going to fall on your fanny with your Florsheims,” said Lavin.

Nike Hyper Elite Uniforms

• The St. John’s men’s basketball team introduced the latest system of dress from Nike for college basketball on Feb. 11, 2010. St. John’s was one of eight teams in college hoops that debuted the Nike Hyper Elite uniforms in February, which celebrate the rich spirit, tradition and culture of the nation’s top basketball programs. • The Nike Hyper Elite uniform, which is 70 percent lighter than a traditional elite level basketball uniform, is now worn by St. John’s, Miami (Fla.), Syracuse, Texas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Gonzaga and Michigan State. • Paying tribute to the rich history of St. John’s basketball, Nike designers worked with the University to create a distinctive look for the Red Storm. Inspired in part by Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca, the St. John’s jerseys feature a Chevron design to represent Carnesecca’s “lucky” sweater. Elements of the iconic ceiling of Madison Square Garden, where Carnesecca coached some of the programs most memorable games, are also included in the design. • In addition, five stripes honor the “Wonder Five” who helped lead the program to prominence. Clouds and lightning reference St. John’s nickname, “Red Storm,” and the University’s seal and its year of establishment, 1870, help complete the design. • St. John’s new uniforms incorporate several Nike innovations that were originally introduced in Beijing. The Hyper Elite uniforms take advantage of Nike Aerographics - an engineered mesh providing zoned cooling that reduces up to half the yarn, making the uniforms more lightweight and breathable. • Nike made specific adjustments to the jersey, eliminating 13 inches of material, while the use of Dri-FIT woven fabric in the short reduced its weight to six ounces; 66 percent lighter than a traditional elite level Nike basketball short. Overall, the Nike Hyper Elite uniform is a striking 70 percent lighter than the traditional basketball uniform. • Dri-FIT technical fabric is a moisture-wicking material that provides increased comfort and thermo regulation to help enable players to perform at their optimal level on the court. The Nike Hyper Elite uniform also dries 30 percent faster compared to a standard professional level uniform when wet. • Completing the new system of dress for St. John’s is Nike Pro Combat, an ergonomically designed base layer that provides basketball-specific protective padding without restricting mobility on the court.

Moe Boards Than Most Freshmen • Freshman swingman Moe Harkless pulled down 267 rebounds in the regular season, the most by a freshman since St. John’s all-time most-prolific rebounder, George Johnson, notched a freshman record 285 St. John’s Freshman Rebounding Leaders boards in 1974-75.

Harkless Named BIG EAST Rookie Of The Week (Feb. 27, Jan. 31)

RED STORM

• BIG EAST Conference Rookie of the Year and freshman All-America candidate Moe Harkless continues to emerge as one of the top newcomers in the league, and across the nation. He has twice been named BIG EAST Rookie of the Week, on Feb. 27 and Jan. 31. • Feb. 27 — Harkless averaged 18.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, nearly a doubledouble for the week, in helping St. John’s to a 2-0 slate which featured the Feb. 25 61-58 victory at The Garden over then-No. 20/18 Notre Dame, and a 79-72 win over DePaul on Feb. 20. Playing the full 80 minutes across the two games, he shot 56.0 percent from the field to go along with three blocks and three steals. • Jan. 31 — Harkless averaged 26.5 points per game and 13.0 rebounds per outing across a pair of contests, connecting at a 58.5 percent clip from the floor and adding three blocks and two steals. In St. John’s 78-62 victory over rv/rv West Virginia on Jan. 25, at Madison Square Garden, Harkless totaled 23 points and 13 rebounds. Playing an out-

What They’re Saying

“I’m glad to see Coach Lav back in coaching. With his basketball background and love for the game, I knew he couldn’t be gone long. He’s a perfect fit for St. John’s and know he will be very successful there.” — Jason Kapono, L.A. Lakers “One thing you have to admire about Lavin: He sees the big picture and knows how to work the room. He can sell the glamour of Manhattan and the bright lights of Broadway while at the same time understanding the true miracle of St. John’s as evidenced by his attendance at the Old Timers dinner at Bishop Ford in Brooklyn to get to know the people who established the great basketball tradition in our city.” — Dick Weiss, New York Daily News “He’s pretty special to me. If I could repay him for helping me, that would be great. It’s a great opportunity to do something really special. He is really into the game and he is really a players’ coach. He is very focused on what he is doing at the moment.” — Gene Keady, Purdue University “I’m pleased that Steve Lavin has decided to rejoin us in the coaching ranks. He’s an outstanding coach and a great friend. He was good for the game during his time as an analyst, serving as an advocate for college basketball. But I expect he’ll be even better for the game as head coach at St. John’s. Combine his previous coaching experience and his time away from coaching to gain perspective, and I have no doubt he’ll return St. John’s to national prominence.” — Tom Izzo, Michigan State University “So Lavin’s plan is to work. And work. He terms his seven-year broadcasting career with ESPN a “sabbatical” that he wisely used to pick up wisdom and strategy from all the great coaches he got to drop in on before working games. Lavin is a coach first, all right.” — Johnette Howard, ESPNNewYork.com “Other coaches have brought their teams to the No. 1 ranking this year, into the Top 10 in the country. Lavin has brought St. John’s back from irrelevance, in the BIG EAST and in a big basketball place, the Garden, that had always been such a grand stage for them, all the way through Looie Carnesecca and Joe Lapchick and back to Frank McGuire of Greenwich Village. You tell me who has done more than that this season in college basketball.” — Mike Lupica, New York Daily News

of-conference nationally-televised contest at No. 8/6 Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium on Jan. 28, Harkless made a huge statement on the national stage with 30 points on a 13-of-21 performance from the field, to go along with 13 rebounds and one steal. In recording the remarkable performance at Duke, Harkless became: The first player to score 30 points against Duke this season. The first player to score 30 points against Duke since March 24, 2011, when Derrick Williams scored 32 for Arizona in the NCAA Sweet 16. The first player to score 30 against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium since Feb. 7, 2009, when Jack McClinton scored 34 for Miami. The first freshman to score 30 against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium since Feb. 14, 1996, when Courtney Alexander scored 30 for Virginia. The first St. John’s player ever to score 30 points at Cameron Indoor Stadium, besting the previous high of 22 scored by Bootsy Thornton on Feb. 26, 2000. The first St. John’s player to score 30 points against Duke since Jan. 24, 1999, when Bootsy Thornton scored 40 at MSG.

Harrison Named BIG EAST Rookie Of The Week (Jan. 9) • St. John’s freshman guard D’Angelo Harrison was named the BIG EAST Rookie of the Week, announced on Jan. 9 by the conference. Harrison averaged 21.0 points and 7.5 rebounds that week to lead the Red Storm to a 1-1 mark in conference action. • In receiving the honor, Harrison became the first St. John’s player to be named Rookie of the Week since forward Dexter Gray on Nov. 22, 2004. • During the two-game stretch, Harrison averaged 39.5 minutes per game and played a vital role in the Red Storm’s first road win of the season, a 57-55 victory at Cincinnati (Jan. 7). The freshman combo guard was able to use scoring prowess to connect on 35.7 percent of his shots from long range and 78.6 of his free throws. • As St. John’s grabbed its first BIG EAST road victory, and first win away from home all year in the victory at Cincinnati, Harrison provided an offensive spark, scoring a teamhigh 18 points with three 3-pointers and a 5-of-7 afternoon from the free throw line. Harrison also pulled down seven rebounds, dished two assists and registered a block in snapping the Bearcats’ seven-game winning streak. One of his biggest contributions came on the final play of the game, as his driving ability created space for a floater which teammate Moe Harkless was able to tip in at the buzzer. • In the Red Storm’s 73-58 loss to Louisville on Tuesday, Jan. 3, Harrison was a bright spot on a poor shooting night from the Johnnies. While St. John’s connected on just 14.3 percent of its shots in the first half, and 28.1 percent for the game, Harrison posted his fourth 20-plus point performance of the year, dropping 24 points on 8-of-18 field goals, including two 3-pointers and 6-of-7 shots from the charity stripe. In addition to his scoring, Harrison dished out three assists with just one turnover, while grabbing three steals and pulling down a team-high eight boards. • Harrison was also named to the BIG EAST Honor Roll on Feb. 6 after leading the Red Storm to a road victory over DePaul (Feb. 1) and netting 23 vs. then No. 2/2 Syracuse (Feb. 4).

Harkless Scores 32 In BIG EAST Debut, Sets New Conference Record • Rookie swingman Moe Harkless scored 32 points — now the most ever by a freshman making his BIG EAST debut after breaking the 30-point mark shared by Allen Iverson (Georgetown, Points In A BIG EAST Debut 1 9 9 4 ) a n d Tr o y By A Freshman Murphy (Notre Dame, 1998) — in the No. Pts.

• The 32 points were the most scored by a Red Storm player since Dwight Hardy scored 34 points in an 81-68 win at Villanova on Feb. 26, 2011. • The 32-point performance is tied for the fifth-best single-game total by any BIG EAST player in the 2011-12 season. • For his efforts, Harkless garnered national Player of the Night awards on multiple college basketball websites and blogs, including College Hoops Daily and The Arena Pulse, and a spot on the BIG EAST Conference’s Weekly Honor Roll (Jan. 2).

Jamal Branch Joins Red Storm Basketball Program • Former Texas A&M point guard and Class of 2011 Top 50 prospect Jamal Branch officially joined the St. John’s men’s basketball team on Monday, Jan. 16, as announced by Red Storm head coach Steve Lavin. Branch, who was rated as high as the No. 8 point guard from last year’s recruiting class, is able to begin practice with the Red Storm squad immediately. Due to NCAA transfer rules, he will not be eligible for game participation and team travel until December of 2012. • “Jamal is an elite college player and a welcome addition to our basketball family. His skill, length, and quickness will give us backcourt depth for the 2012-13 season,” said Lavin. “Point guard play is a critical element to success in the BIG EAST Conference and Jamal will be a valuable asset as we continue to elevate our basketball program.” • “I chose St. John’s because I think it’s a perfect fit for me,” said Branch. “They have a great coaching staff who I feel can help me a lot with my game. Those guys are like teachers in a classroom, but teachers of the game. They know so much about the game. We have a really great team and I think we could compete with anyone in the future.” • Branch played in 11 games for the Aggies in the fall of 2011, averaging 4.2 points, 2.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game. He fired at a 41.7 percent clip from the field and a 33.3 percent rate from beyond the arc, while dealing 28 assists with 21 total turnovers (1.3 ratio). He dealt a career-high six assists in his collegiate debut vs. Liberty (Nov. 9) and netted a career-high 10 points vs. Mississippi State during the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer at Madison Square Garden (Nov. 17). Playing against St. John’s in the 2K Sports Classic event on Nov. 18, he scored seven points with five rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes. • Branch was named the best high school defender in the Class of 2011 by Scout.com and was rated as high as the No. 47 overall prospect and No. 8 point guard, nationally. He joins teammates Moe Harkless, D’Angelo Harrison, Sir’Dominic Pointer and Amir Garrett in giving St. John’s five member of the 2011 ESPNU 100. Branch and Harrison are friends from being summer basketball competitors in Texas. • Branch was born in Kansas City, Mo., before moving to the state of Texas for his high school years. He played two years at Atascocita High School in Humble, Texas, before spending his final two seasons at Grace Preparatory Academy in Arlington. During his high school career, he earned four letters in basketball and two in football. Branch was the district’s most valuable player, an all-state selection and a finalist for Mr. Basketball in the state of Texas. He averaged 16.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in leading Grace Prep to the state championship as a senior in 2010-11. The second team all-area selection by The Dallas Morning News scored a career-high 48 points against Houston Yates as a senior. He played summer basketball for Team Texas, Houston Hoops and the Houston Swoosh.

Assistant Coach Mike Dunlap • Steve Lavin’s elite and formidable basketball staff is anchored by veteran mentor Mike Dunlap, who has built a reputation as one of professional and college basketball’s leading strategists and on-court instructors. • As part of Lavin’s staff in 2010-11, Dunlap helped the Johnnies return to the NCAA Tournament for the 27th time in program history – and for the first time following a nine-year hiatus. In addition, St. John’s catapulted back into the national rankings for the first time in 10 seasons, climbing as high as No. 15 in the country. • Dunlap, 54, joined the St. John’s basketball family in 2010-11 after serving as the associate head coach on Pac-10 staffs during the previous two seasons. Arizona went 21-14 in 2008-09, advancing to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 before ending the season with a loss to top-seeded Louisville in the NCAA Midwest Regional Semifinal game. Dunlap joined Oregon’s staff in 2009-10, with the Ducks posting a 16-16 record. • Prior to his appointments at Arizona and Oregon, Dunlap spent two seasons in the NBA, working for the Denver Nuggets under head coach George Karl. The Nuggets compiled a 95-69 (.579) record during his tenure and made two playoff appearances, including a

What They’re Saying

“Madison Square Garden has been rocking lately, and I am not talking about the Knicks, baby! The energy and enthusiasm brought in by St. John’s coach Steve Lavin is amazing. Lavin has done a phenomenal job with the Red Storm. His first step was to get people in the Big Apple excited about St. John’s basketball. Do you think he has achieved that? It helps when you beat five teams that were in the Top 15 in America in Duke, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Notre Dame and Georgetown. How is that for a resume, baby? Those are five incredible W’s! Getting that excitement and energy back in the city was the first step. There is now a buzz over St. John’s that has been missing for years. The school had become irrelevant in the basketball world in New York and what was traditionally a powerhouse truly slipped. That has all changed in Steve Lavin’s first season.” — Dick Vitale, ESPN “Lavin has already done two things to rekindle the furnace that has driven this program for decades. He has hired an all-star staff, bringing in X and O wizard Mike Dunlap, who won a pair of NCAA Division II titles at Metro State and spent last season at Oregon, along with NBA individual workout guru Rico Hines and likeable, capable recruiter Tony Chiles, who has New York roots, having worked for All Hallows and Columbia, coached at Manhattan and Iona and recruited players for Drexel who could have played at the next level up. Lavin has also added successful Rice High coach Moe Hicks as his director of Basketball Operations, and Hicks should expedite his ability to connect and identify local stars.” — Dick Weiss, New York Daily News “Lavin has definitely moved the needle since arriving in Queens. A school spokesman says the school’s website video of Lavin’s introductory press conference was downloaded 40,000 times in the first two days. Season-ticket sales have spiked. Alumni and corporate sponsors that drifted away from the program are now taking a second look, hoping St. John’s can finally get the city’s best recruits to stay home.” — Johnette Howard, ESPNNewYork.com “Lavin should know. He was an assistant at UCLA when the Bruins came out of hibernation in 1995, the year Jim Harrick coached them to a national championship. Lavin went on to become the head coach at UCLA for seven years from 1996-2003 before becoming a successful analyst at ESPN. He eventually found his way back into coaching this spring, finding a new home on Union Turnpike in the house that Joe Lapchick and Lou Carnesecca built.” — Dick Weiss, New York Daily News

What They’re Saying

“Coach Lavin has done a great job — just from talking to the kids — of instilling confidence in them. Talent is one thing. Performance in practice is one thing. Performing on the big stage is a whole other.” — Chris Mullin, Naismith Hall of Fame ‘11 “Lavin comes with a track record. He comes with a history of success, and a string of players he recruited to UCLA who have thrived in the NBA. He comes with an engaging personality that is sure to play well among the various factions of New York City in which he will now have to immerse himself.” — Mike Vaccaro, New York Post “Now Lavin is trying to put the New York back in St. John’s, not only by adding homegrown names to his roster but by injecting the city’s verve and flair into his program as well. “ — Dana O’Neil, ESPN.com “Lavin was always looking to get back into college basketball and his position in the media allowed him to stay current. His enthusiastic approach equals the hunger of the Johnnies’ faithful. The late-night film sessions and early-morning skill development workouts, which can become burdensome to some coaches, have been part of the tent revival for this born-again coach.” — Dick Weiss, New York Daily News “Lavin is now the face of the St. John’s program – the most recognizable one since Looie. Carnesecca wore Chevron sweaters and Lavin wears designer suits. Looie was the perfect coach in the 80’s and 90’s and now St. John’s seems to have found the perfect one going forward.” — New York Post “Lavin has made St. John’s relevant again in a crowded New York media market. He handed out 300 business cards his first two weeks on the job and then quickly went putting together the nation’s No. 2 recruiting class. The Mets asked him to throw out the first pitch at a game. About 4,000 people showed up for his first public appearance on campus. He and his actress wife Mary Ann Jarou are regulars on the back (and front) pages of the New York tabloids. Jarous, who has appeared on “Entourage” and “King of Queens,” was immediately dubbed by the tabs as the “Queen of Queens.” — Orange County Register

50-win season for the 2007-08 Denver squad, a first for the organization in 23 seasons. • “Mike Dunlap absolutely elevates every player and team he comes into contact with,” said Karl. “He is our guy. He will take you from good to great. Name any top-level, elite coach in the game - the only difference between Mike and them is their address. There is no higher level of coaching ability than his. There is absolutely no one better.” • Before his time in the NBA, Dunlap was a two-time NCAA Division II national championship mentor (2000 and 2002) and National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II Coach of the Year (2000 and 2002) at Metropolitan State College in Denver, Colo., leading the Roadrunners to nine NCAA Tournament appearances in each of his nine seasons as head coach (1997-2006). Dunlap posted a 248-50 (.832) record en route to three NCAA Division II title game appearances, three North Central Regional championships, five Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) titles, two RMAC Coach of the Year awards and in the process, became Metro State’s all-time winningest coach. • Prior to his tenure at Metro State, Dunlap served three seasons as the head coach of the Adelaide 36ers, a professional basketball team in Australia. The 36ers posted a 59-33 (.641) record during his tenure and advanced to the National Basketball League Final Four in 1995 and 1996 after appearing in the Grand Final in 1994. • Dunlap and his wife, Mollie Busterud Dunlap, have three children: Holt (20), Spencer (18) and Ellie (15). An avid runner, Dunlap has a 100-mile race to his credit.

Opening Tips • Following successful surgery to treat prostate cancer on Oct. 6, Lavin continues to follow a modified schedule with regard to his coaching duties. Lavin coached in four games this season (2-2) including two games at The Garden against ranked competition as part of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer on Nov. 17 and 18. He continues to perform coast-to-coast and local recruiting, media and other head coaching responsibilities. Lavin’s efforts helped land former Texas A&M freshman point guard, former Top 50 Class of 2011 prospect and the No. 8 prep point guard in the nation, Jamal Branch, who practices with the team and will be eligible to suit up for the Red Storm in December of 2012. • In terms of returning scoring, St. John’s is the youngest team in the nation and one of only seven squads returning less than 20 percent of their points in 201112 — St. John’s: 3.7 percent (85-of-2,313), Towson: 5.3 percent (109-of-2,053), Boston College: 10.8 percent (263-of-2,440), Texas: 17 percent (459-of-2,701), UTEP: 17.5 percent (433-of-2,470), Fairleigh Dickinson: 17.8 percent (333-of-1,866) and Wofford 19.98 percent (500-of-2,502). • St. John’s was 13-4 last season and went 8-0 in BIG EAST play when leading at the half. The team was 6-8 when trailing at halftime, with second-half comebacks against Columbia, Arizona State, Davidson, Northwestern, then-No. 4/4 Pitt and USF. • The Red Storm went 9-9 away from home in the 2010-11 season, including five true road wins and four at neutral sites. Trips to Moraga, Calif., and Anchorage, Alaska, for the 2010 Great Alaska Shootout title saw St. John’s cover 12,860 miles via air prior to Dec. 1. • The Jan. 30, 2011, victory over Duke was before a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden (19,353). Before that, the last time St. John’s sold out a regular season game at “The World’s Most Famous Arena” was on March 2, 2003, when the Red Storm upset No. 6 Duke, 72-71, before a sellout crowd of 19,610. Marcus Hatten capped a 29-point performance by hitting the game-winning free throw with no time remaining. The Red Storm sold out two-straight home games last season, as 5,602 fans attended the Jan. 22 contest against No. 25 Cincinnati at Carnesecca Arena in Queens. The Feb. 23 game on campus vs. DePaul and the March 5 “Senior Night Blackout” vs. USF marked the Red Storm’s third and fourth sell-outs of the season, respectively. • St. John’s is scheduled to play 19 games on national television in 2011-12, after a streak last season where seven of the Red Storm’s last 11 regular season games aired on national television. STJ was 5-2 in that stretch, and went 7-7 on the year in nationallytelevised games (CBS: 1-2, ESPN: 4-2, ESPN2: 1-1, ESPNU: 1-2). St. John’s is 6-12 on national television so far in 2011-12.

Scouting Pitt • Pittsburgh comes into Tuesday’s matchup at 16-15 and 5-13 in the BIG EAST, earning it the No. 13 seed in the 2012 BIG EAST Championship. The Panthers’ conference season was defined by streaks, as they started league losing seven, then rebounded for a four-game winning streak including a win over then-No. 10 Georgetown, but fell into a five game slump before their win over St. John’s last Wednesday. Pitt finished the

Red Storm Tip-Off

• An excited crowd of St. John’s fans eagerly anticipating the 2011-12 basketball season packed into Carnesecca Arena on Friday night to see the men’s and women’s basketball teams take the court for the first time as part of the 2011 Red Storm Tip-Off. • The event, which aired nationally on ESPN3 as a production of the newlycreated St. John’s Television Network (STJ-TV) and gave St. John’s distinction as one of just eight schools in the country with live ESPN3 coverage for its entire event, featured Harlem performing artists Vado and DJ Webstar, legendary streetball emcee Joe Pope, chances to win $50,000 and an iPad2, a dunk contest and a men’s and women’s mixed team shooting contest. • The first-ever STJ-TV broadcast, the event featured courtside commentary from Tony Luftman, “The Voice of STJ-TV,” former St. John’s standout Tarik Turner and former Long Island-area high school and UCLA star Nicole Kazcmarksi. New radio analyst, “The Coach” Tim O’Toole, was also on hand for sideline interviews throughout the event. • The women’s team was introduced first and treated the fans to a choreographed dance before participating in a scrimmage. • The men’s team was then introduced. Just one week removed from successful surgery to treat prostate cancer, head men’s coach Steve Lavin could not be in attendance, but offered the following statement, which was read to the crowd by freshman Moe Harkless. • “Last week’s surgery was a success. Now my return to coaching duties will be dictated by the healing process. I’m under the expert care of Dr. Scardino at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and we are working closely to measure the daily progress being made during this vital recovery period. Naturally, I wish I was at Carnesecca Arena tonight to participate in the Tip-Off festivities with our team, and celebrate the start of the college basketball season with our loyal fans! Please know our players and staff appreciate your support. I will be watching from home with great pride! Go Johnnies!”

regular season with a 74-65 loss to Connecticut on Saturday. Statistically, the Panthers have three players averaging in double figures, led by senior guard Ashton Gibbs (15.4 ppg), redshirt junior guard Tray Woodall (11.5) and senior forward Nasir Robinson (11.0). Robinson leads the squad in rebounding (6.6 rpg) and is one of five players on the roster averaging at least five boards per game. As a team, the Panthers are efficient offensively, shooting .453 from the field, good for fifth in the BIG EAST. Pitt pulls down 36.9 rebounds per game, sixth most in the conference, while allowing a conference-best 29.1 rebounds for opponents en route to a league-high +7.7 rebounding margin. Head Coach Jamie Dixon is in his ninth year at the helm of the Panthers and 13th overall in Pittsburgh, compiling a 232-74 record. Dixon has led the Panthers to three BIG EAST titles, and currently has the highest conference winning percentage of any coach in BIG EAST history. Dixon’s success has helped the Panthers be the winningest program in the conference over the last 11 years in terms of winning percentage. This will be the 57th meeting in the series between St. John’s and Pittsburgh, which the Red Storm lead 34-22. Pitt won the last meeting, 89-69, on Feb. 29 last week. In the last meeting at Madison Square Garden, the Panthers were on a five-game winning streak in the series, but St. John’s completed an epic comeback as Dwight Hardy hit a twisting, driving circus shot at the buzzer to give STJ the 60-59 victory over then-No. 4/4 Pitt.

A Look Back At 2010-11 • The first year of The Steve Lavin Era included a 21-12 overall record in 2010-11, marking St. John’s most wins since the 2002-03 season, with six Top 25 victories, four over Top 10 opponents and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. • The USBWA District II Coach of the Year, Lavin transformed a team that finished in 13th place in the BIG EAST Conference in 2009-10 at 6-12 to a squad that tied for third last season at 12-6 — only twice before has a jump of such magnitude occurred in BIG EAST Conference history. • The Red Storm finished its season ranked 18th in the Associated Press Top 25, marking the first time it qualified for the postseason as a ranked team since 2000-01. • The Red Storm, which posted a 7-1 record in eight regular season games at Madison Square Garden (capacity: 19,353) and a 5-2 record on campus at Carnesecca Arena (capacity: 5,602) saw its home attendance climb by 38.1 percent, marking the fourthlargest increase in NCAA Division I men’s basketball.

Noting The Red Storm Schedule • St. John’s is scheduled to play three contests against teams in the Preseason AP Top 5, six in the Top 10, eight in the Top 20 and 11 in the Top 25. • In all, St. John’s could play 17 regular season games against teams that participated in the postseason in 2010-11, all from the NCAA Tournament (Arizona, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Duke, Georgetown, Kentucky, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse, Texas A&M, Villanova, West Virginia, UCLA). • The 2010-11 season saw the BIG EAST place a record 11 teams in the NCAA Championship Tournament with UConn winning the national title. An incredible 91 percent of all BIG EAST Conference games in 2011-12 will include a team that played in the 2011 NCAA tourney.

Milestones Already Mounting Under Lavin • With 21 wins in 2010-11, St. John’s tied its most victories since finishing 21-13 in the 2002-03 season, and was one victory short of the most since the 1999-2000 BIG EAST Championship team posted 25. St. John’s also earned 12 BIG EAST wins for the first time since 1999-2000. • In 2010-11, St. John’s defeated six ranked opponents, the most in one season since taking down six ranked foes in 1999-2000. St. John’s finished the season ranked 18th in the AP Top 25, down from a season-best 15th on Feb. 28, which marked the Red Storm’s highest ranking since March 13, 2000 when St. John’s was voted ninth. St. John’s also rated as high as 15th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, the team’s best mark since March 13, 2000, which was the first poll after the Red Storm captured the BIG EAST Championship. • Before falling to Seton Hall on March 3 of last season, STJ won seven-straight BIG EAST contests, the most since winning seven-consecutive conference games in 19992000. The Red Storm’s five BIG EAST road victories were its most since STJ totaled six conference road wins in 1998-99. St. John’s undefeated conference slate in Feb. 2011 was the first for a BIG EAST team since Louisville had a perfect Feb. in 2008.

The Great Alaska Shootout title was St. John’s first regular season tournament championship since it won the 2005 Madison Square Garden Holiday Festival. The Red Storm then won the MSG Holiday Festival for the 16th time in 2010. • Guard Dwight Hardy was named All-BIG EAST first team, the first Red Storm player so honored since Lamont Hamilton in 2007. Hardy was also the BIG EAST Player of the Week for the weeks ending Jan. 2, Feb. 14 and Feb. 21. Hardy became the first St. John’s player to earn BIG EAST Player of the Week honors since Daryll Hill on Jan. 3, 2005. Forward Justin Burrell was named the BIG EAST’s Sixth Man of the Year.

Lavin: One Branch On The Keady Coaching Tree • St. John’s special assistant/advisor Gene Keady was a decorated head coach at Purdue University for 25 seasons, from 1980-2005. He led the Boilermakers to six conference titles and seventeen NCAA Tournament appearances, including two Elite Eights, tallying 512 wins with the Boilermakers. He has mentored a number of assistant coaches who are currently enjoying success as head coaches around the college basketball landscape. • In 2010-11, former pupil and current St. John’s head coach Steve Lavin went 21-12 overall, and 12-6 in the BIG EAST Conference, but all told, each of Keady’s seven former assistants-now-turned-active-head-coaches authored fine seasons. Lavin, Kevin Stallings (Vanderbilt, 23-11), Bruce Weber (Illinois, 20-14), Matt Painter (Purdue, 26-8), Cuonzo Martin (Missouri State, 26-9) Linc Darner (Florida Southern, 23-9) and Alan Major (Charlotte, 10-20) combined for a record of 149 wins, 83 losses (.642). • In 2011-12, Lavin holds a 13-18 overall record, while Stallings (rv/rv Vanderbilt, 21-10), Weber (Illinois, 17-13), Painter (Purdue, 20-10), Martin (Tennessee, 18-13), Darner (Florida Southern, 19-9) and Major (Charlotte, 13-16) have combined for 121 wins and 89 losses (.576) so far this season. • Lavin was an assistant coach under Keady from 1988-91. After serving as head coach at UCLA for seven seasons, Lavin returned to coach St. John’s in 2010-11 and has led the Red Storm back into the national spotlight. St. John’s was ranked 15th in both the AP and Coaches Polls on Feb. 28, the program’s highest ranking since March 13, 2000. • Weber served under Keady as an assistant at Purdue for 18 seasons. Painter was a player for Gene Keady from 1989-93, starting 50 games for Purdue in his career. Stallings was an assistant under Keady for six seasons from 1982 to 1988; he also played at Purdue for three seasons, two of them under Keady. Martin, now the head coach at Tennessee, was an assistant coach for Keady and Matt Painter at his alma mater from 2000-08 at Purdue. Darner played for Keady with teammates Painter and Martin from 1991-94, while Major graduated from Purdue in 1992 after serving as a student manager under Keady.

On The Biggest Stage • St. John’s is 400-268 (.599) all-time at “The World’s Most Famous Arena,” which has served as a home court for St. John’s basketball for more than 77 years. St. John’s played its first men’s basketball game at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 19, 1931 — a 17-9 victory over CCNY in a special charity game arranged by mayor Jimmy Walker. St. John’s first-ever regularly-schedule game was a doubleheader on Dec. 29, 1934, where NYU defeated Notre Dame, 25-18, before the Redmen fell to Westminster, 37-33. • St. John’s is 4-7 at The Garden this season. D’Angelo Harrison has enjoyed playing on the big stage, scoring at a 17.6 points per game clip while connecting on 39.3 percent of his shots from long-range. Classmate Moe Harkless has experienced success as well, averaging 14.6 ppg and grabbing 9.3 rebounds per outing. Point guard Phil Greene averages 8.7 ppg and 3.3 assists per MSG appearance. • The Red Storm went 8-2 at The Garden in 2010-11, having defeated Rutgers (65-63, March 9), No. 4/4 Pitt (60-59, Feb. 19), No. 10/9 Connecticut (89-72, Feb. 10), No. 3/3 Duke (93-78, Jan. 30), No. 9/11 Notre Dame (72-54, Jan. 16), No. 13/13 Georgetown (61-58, Jan. 3), and Davidson (62-57, Dec. 20) and Northwestern (85-69, Dec. 21) en route to the 2010 MSG Holiday Festival title. St. John’s averaged 71.9 points per game at The Garden in 2010-11, while limiting opponents to 66.5 ppg. St. John’s hit at a 47.7 percent clip from The Garden floor and a 36.4 percent rate from long distance at The Garden, while limiting opponents to a 42.0 field goal percentage. • St. John’s head coach Steve Lavin is now 13-9 all-time at MSG, having participated in the 2000 Coaches vs. Cancer Classic as the head coach at UCLA before his appointment at St. John’s. Lavin’s No. 17 Bruins fell to No. 7 Kansas, 99-98, on Nov. 9, 2000, before topping No. 12 Kentucky, 97-92 in overtime, on Nov. 10. Lavin has also served as an analyst on close to 20 basketball broadcasts at The Garden, calling games in the Coaches vs. Cancer event, the NIT and the Jordan Brand Classic. • Ten of the 11 of St. John’s victories over ranked teams since 2004-05 have come at Madison Square Garden: No. 4/4 Pitt (Feb. 19, 2011; 60-59), No. 10/9 Connecticut (Feb. 10, 2011; 89-72), No. 3/3 Duke (Jan. 30, 2011; 93-78), No. 9/11 Notre Dame (Jan. 16, 2011; 72-54), No. 13/13 Georgetown (Jan. 3, 2011; 61-58), No. 7/10 Notre Dame (Jan. 3, 2009; 71-65), No. 22/21 Notre Dame (Jan. 23, 2007; 71-68), No. 9 Pitt (Jan. 21, 2006; 55-50), No. 17/15 Louisville (Jan. 17, 2006; 68-56), No. 21 Pitt (Jan. 18, 2005; 65-62) and No. 17 NC State (Dec. 20, 2004; 63-45).

• The Red Storm is 11-6 at home and 7-1 on campus in 2011-12. Now in its 51st season, St. John’s is 428-81 (.841) in 509 games and 50-plus years at Carnesecca Arena, which underwent Phase III of its interior renovation in the summer of 2009 as part of the multiphase upgrade to the facility. The installation of a new high-resolution video scoreboard and sound system, a refurbishing of the arena ceiling and the implementation of a new lighting system are among the series of changes Red Storm fans enjoyed beginning in 2009-10. • The building, constructed in 1961, was re-named for St. John’s Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca during the 2004-05 season. The Red Storm went 5-2 in Queens in 2010-11, scoring at a 67.3 points per game clip and limiting opponents to 58.6 ppg. • Through eight games on campus in 2011-12, St. John’s is averaging 74.6 points per game at Carnesecca Arena, firing at a 49.4 percent clip from the field.

Toppling The Top 25 • With a 61-58 victory over No. 20/18 Notre Dame on Feb. 25, 2012, an 81-68 win over No. 15/14 Villanova on Feb. 26, 2011, a 60-59 victory over No. 4/4 Pitt on Feb. 19, an 89-72 win over No. 10/9 Connecticut on Feb. 10, a 93-78 victory over No. 3/3 Duke on Jan. 30, a 72-54 win over No. 9/11 Notre Dame on Jan. 26, and a 61-58 victory over No. 13/13 Georgetown on Jan. 3, St. John’s has defeated seven teams ranked in the Top 25 during the Steve Lavin Era. • ST. JOHN’S 61, NO. 20/18 NOTRE DAME 58 — Feb. 25, 2012 — Moe Harkless scored 22 points with nine rebounds and rookie classmate D’Angelo Harrison added 15 as St. John’s notched a 61-58 victory over No. 20/18 Notre Dame, marking the first ranked victory for the “Fresh Five.” Amir Garrett, another of the five freshmen starters, had 11 points, including the drive that gave the Red Storm the final three-point lead with 8.9 seconds to play. Notre Dame’s last of 27 3-point misses was off at the buzzer, as the Irish finished 4-of-31 from beyond the arc. Notre Dame had been riding a schoolrecord nine-game conference win streak. • NO. 23/25 ST. JOHN’S 81, NO. 15/14 VILLANOVA 68 — Feb. 26, 2011 — Dwight Hardy scored a career-high 34 points and No. 23/25 St. John’s posted an 81-68 win over No. 14/15 Villanova. The Red Storm won their sixth-straight game and beat their first Top 25 team away from The Garden. STJ also notched its first win on the road against a ranked team since Jan. 17, 2002 when the squad defeated No. 22 Boston College. Hardy was 5-of-9 from long range and shot 11-of-13 from the free throw line. D.J. Kennedy tallied 12 points and 14 rebounds to notch his second-straight double-double, fourth this season and 14th of his career. Paris Horne and Justin Brownlee chipped in 12 and 11 points, respectively as St. John’s improved to 7-0 this season when having four players in double-figures. • ST. JOHN’S 60, NO. 4/4 PITT 59 — Feb. 19, 2011 — Hardy’s underhanded flip with 1.2 seconds left gave the Red Storm a 60-59 victory over No. 4/4 Pitt, the fourth over a Top 10 team in 2010-11. Hardy scored a team-high 19 points, senior classmate Justin Burrell scored 15 with a game-high eight rebounds, while Kennedy added 11 points and seven boards — including a critical offensive rebound off of a missed STJ free throw down the stretch — which saved the game for the Red Storm and helped St. John’s match the nation’s top rebounding team at 31-31. • ST. JOHN’S 89, NO. 10/9 CONNECTICUT 72 — Feb. 10, 2011 — Hardy scored a career-high 33 points and St. John’s took command in the second half in an 89-72 victory over No. 10/9 Connecticut, marking the Red Storm’s fourth win over a top 13 team in 2010-11 at the Garden. Hardy, who was 10-of-17 from the field and a career-high tying 5-of-8 from 3-point range, was coming off a 32-point effort in a loss to UCLA the game prior where he was 13-of-24 overall and 3-of-6 on 3s. The Red Storm outscored the Huskies in the second half, 54-41, as Kennedy matched his season high with 20 points and had 11 rebounds for his 12th-career double-double. • ST.

from 3-point range, missed its first 10 shots from behind the arc and made one of 13 in the half. The Blue Devils’ overall shooting wasn’t a whole lot better as they shot 29.6 percent (8 of 27) in the half — they entered the game shooting 48.1 percent from the field — and they were careless with the ball as well, committing 11 turnovers, one off their season average for a game. Hardy had 26 points for St. John’s, while Brownlee had 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists and Paris Horne added 15 points and six assists. St. John’s shot 58.2 percent for the game (32-of-55) and was 26-of-33 from the free throw line. • ST. JOHN’S 72, NO. 9/11 NOTRE DAME 54 — Jan. 16, 2011 — Facing the Fighting Irish for the second time in eight days, and looking to avenge a 15-point road loss from the first meeting, St. John’s used smothering defense to down its second Top 25 opponent of the 2010-11 season. The 18-point triumph marked the largest win against Notre Dame since a 73-53 win on Feb. 24, 1999. St. John’s held the Fighting Irish to just 19 first-half points on 28.6 percent (4-of-14) shooting from the floor. The 19 points marked the lowest first-half point total for Notre Dame this season, while the four first half field goals were the fewest in the first half in the Mike Brey Era. The 54 total points were also a season low for the Irish, which entered the game scoring 77.0 points a game. Malik Boothe and Kennedy finished the contest with 14 points apiece. • ST. JOHN’S 61, NO. 13/13 GEORGETOWN 65 — Jan. 3, 2011 — Hardy had 20 points — his sixth 20-point performance in seven games — to lead the Red Storm to its best BIG EAST start since 1999-2000. St. John’s came into this game off two conference road wins and came up with another solid effort, especially on the defensive end. The Red Storm’s constantly changing defenses, with a tendency toward zones most of the time, were so effective that Georgetown’s three guards and leading scorers — Austin Freeman, Chris Wright and Jason Clark — were a combined 7-of-25 from the field — 2-of-13 on 3-pointers — and had a total of 20 points, 26.1 below their combined averages coming in.

Game #1 Nov. 7, 2011 • Carnesecca Arena 1 2 Total St. John’s 26 48 74 William & Mary 33 26 59 QUEENS, N.Y. - It took one of the nation's least experienced teams 20 minutes to start looking like a team of veterans. Sophomore guard Nurideen Lindsey scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half to lead St. John's to a 74-59 victory over William & Mary on Monday night in the opening round of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer. The Red Storm had only one player back from last season's team that went 2112 and made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002. It looked that way as William & Mary took a 33-26 halftime lead. St. John's shot just 32.3 percent from the field (10-for-31), including making only 2-of-9 from 3-point range in the first half, and forced nine turnovers, a staple of the pressure defense that allows the Red Storm to take advantage of its speed and athleticism. The stats were decidedly different in the second half as the Red Storm forced 12 turnovers - and turned them into 21 points - and shot 67.9 percent (19-of28) from the field. "I think in the first half the guys came out a little tight. We were definitely excited about the game but we weren't ready to play," said Lindsey, one of the six newcomers on the roster. "In the second half we turned it up a notch and got more intense." Junior big man God'sgift Achiuwa and rookie guard/forward Moe Harkless both added 17 points for the Red Storm (1-0), who were without head coach Steve Lavin, who is recovering from prostate cancer surgery on Oct. 6. Quinn McDowell had 20 points for William & Mary (0-1), which made seven 3pointers in taking the seven-point halftime lead. McDowell scored to open the second half for a nine-point lead but the Red Storm went on a 22-5 run that saw St. John's make 10-of-14 shots, all but two from inside. Sir'Dominic Pointer's 3 gave St. John's a 48-40 lead.

Game #2 Nov. 9, 2011 • Carnesecca Arena 1 2 Total 33 45 78 43 30 73

QUEENS, N.Y. - St. John's head coach Steve Lavin had been away from his team for just more than a month. He decided to return to the bench about threeand-a-half hours before St. John's played its second game of the season. Junior forward God'sgift Achiuwa scored 21 points on a perfect shooting night and added eight rebounds as St. John's (2-0) rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit for a 78-73 victory over Lehigh (0-1) on Wednesday night to give Lavin a win in his return from prostate cancer surgery. Mike Dunlap, the assistant coach who was in charge of the program during Lavin's absence, was the one who prodded his boss into the earlier return. Lavin made his first appearance at a practice on Tuesday. Lavin made a surprising and understated return, walking out to the court just minutes after the Red Storm came out for pregame warmups. The students behind both baskets erupted into cheers and started chanting, "We love Lavin!" The Red Storm was down 60-46 with 11:09 to play, then turned on the defensive intensity in holding the Mountain Hawks scoreless for almost six minutes to get back in the game. St. John's kept it up over the final moments to take control and give Lavin the victory. St. John's took advantage of Lehigh going cold from the field - both inside and out - to get within 60-58 on a rebound basket by Harkless with 5:50 to go. Holden Greiner hit a turnaround 23 seconds later, Lehigh's first points in almost 6 minutes. Harkless hit a 3 - the Red Storm's second of the game in nine attempts - to tie the game at 64 with 3:40 to go. Gabe Knutson's 3-point play on a rebound basket gave the Mountain Hawks the lead back, but Lindsey and Sir'Dominic Pointer hit drives and St. John's had its first lead since 4-3. The Red Storm took the lead for good at 70-69 on a basket by Achiuwa, who had a perfect shooting night, making six field goals and nine free throws.

QUEENS, N.Y. - St. John's sophomore guard Nurideen Lindsey came so close to basketball's statistical standard for a great game. But what mattered most was that he and his teammates didn't need to rally for another win.

NEW YORK - When you have a seven-man rotation and all but one of the players is in his first season of Division I basketball, you have to expect there are going to be some tough nights.

Lindsey missed a triple-double by one assist and St. John's pulled away to an 82-59 victory over Maryland-Baltimore County on Sunday. St. John's had all five starters score in double figures for the first time since Feb. 26, 2000 in an 83-82 win at Duke - the last non-conference loss for the Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

St. John's first loss of the season wasn't one of those games where lack of depth and experience were glaring weaknesses.

The Red Storm's first two wins this season featured second-half comebacks. Everyone connected with the young team was hoping for a different script to Sunday's game, and they got it. The sophomore junior college transfer had 15 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Red Storm (3-0). He had 10 points, seven assists and five rebounds at the half when St. John's was leading 39-34. Freshman forward Moe Harkless continues to perform and led St. John's with 18 points, while rookie sharpshooter D'Angelo Harrison had 17, going 5-for-10 from the field including three 3-pointers. Big man Gods'gift Achiuwa added 15 and junior guard Malik Stith - the one returning letterwinner from last year's squad that advanced to the NCAA tournament - added 11, all in the second half, coming within two points of his career high.

The Red Storm are going to have to learn how to handle foul trouble. The starting backcourt of Nurideen Lindsey and D'Angelo Harrison both fouled out down the stretch when the Red Storm just couldn't handle the Wildcats' final run. Solomon Hill had 15 points to lead Arizona. The Wildcats will play Mississippi State in the championship game on Friday night at Madison Square Garden. The Bulldogs (3-1) beat No. 19 Texas A&M 6960 in the other semifinal. Lindsey had 18 points for the Red Storm and Harrison added 16. The Wildcats (4-0) led 44-41 at halftime and were up 54-47 about 5 minutes into the second half. St. John's (3-1), one of the least experienced teams in the country, suddenly started running and taking advantage of defensive pressure to go on a 12-2 surge to take a 66-58 lead - and the Red Storm had the crowd at Madison Square Garden behind them. Arizona, which had started hot from 3-point range before cooling off, suddenly found its stroke behind the arc again in a 16-2 run that gave the Wildcats a 7468 lead with 3:13 to play.

NEW YORK - St. John's coach Steve Lavin knew this season would have some ups and downs in it with a roster featuring only seven scholarship players and all but one in their first season in Division I.

QUEENS, N.Y. - St. John's fans looking toward the bench at the beginning of Tuesday's contest may have found it interesting to see who was there, and see who was missing. Head coach Steve Lavin - continuing on a modified schedule as he continues to recuperate from prostate surgery just over a month ago missed the game, while rookie sharpshooter D'Angelo Harrison was on the bench for the first time in his young career, ready to provide a boost as the sixth man.

He couldn't have expected to have seen so many twists and turns through just five games. "What I shared with the team after the game was similar to what I said last night," Lavin said Friday after the Red Storm lost 58-57 to No. 19 Texas A&M in the third-place game of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer. "There were stretches we played really well and we also put ourselves in a hole again, trailing by 11." St. John's (3-2) has been behind in each of its five games this season. The Red Storm may have rallied, but they couldn't do much with a huge advantage at the free throw line. They were 22-of-38 at the line and missed 8-of-13 over the final 6:21. That included two misses by Nurideen Lindsey with 2.3 seconds left that could have tied the game or given the Red Storm the lead after Elston Turner hit a short jumper with 6 seconds left to make it 58-57. Turner's big jumper were his only points of the second half for the Aggies (3-1). Turner grabbed the final rebound when Lindsey missed the second free throw that could have tied the game.

By the end of the contest, however, Harrison led the way with a career-high 21point performance in a reserve role, keying the Red Storm to a 63-48 win against Brooklyn squad St. Francis (N.Y.) and winning one for the head coach. Harrison finished 4-of-5 from 3-point range and the Red Storm (4-2) were 6-of10 as a team from long distance. Freshman swingman Moe Harkless added 18 points for St. John's, while rookie Sir'Dominic Pointer had a career-high 10. Stefan Perunicic had 13 points for the Terriers (0-4), who still have five games left on their season-opening road trip. St. John's started the game just 1-of-9 and the game was tied at 2-2 with 16:11 left in the opening half, before the Red Storm used a 9-0 run to grab an 11-2 lead. A 3-pointer by Harkless and back-to-back treys by Harrison, including one on a fast break, quickly gave St. John's a 14-point advantage, 20-6, with 7:32 remaining. The Red Storm extended its lead to as much as 16 in the first half, 29-13 with 4:24 left, but the Terriers closed on a 9-2 run and trailed 31-22 at the break. St. John's quickly extended its lead in the second half as a Harrison 3-point play capped a 10-0 run that gave the Red Storm a 41-24 advantage with 14:32 to play, and St. John's never looked back.

QUEENS, N.Y. - St. John's erased a 12-point first half deficit and led by two with 17:50 remaining in the second half, but Northeastern shot 59.3 percent (16-for27) in the final frame and used an 11-0 run midway through the period to notch a 78-64 win on the road against the Red Storm.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Playing against the country's No. 1 ranked team in its first road game of the season, St. John's, which has now played three Top 25 teams in the past five games, was defeated by top-ranked Kentucky, 81-59, at Rupp Arena.

God'sgift Achiuwa finished with a team-high 17 points, including 14 in the second half, and nine boards, while Nurideen Lindsey totaled 16 points and Moe Harkless chipped in with eight points and eight rebounds for St. John's (4-3).

God'sgift Achiuwa and Moe Harkless each collected their first-career double doubles to lead St. John's (4-4). Achiuwa had 18 points and 10 boards, while Harkless scored 16 and also pulled down 10 boards to give the Red Storm a pair of double doubles for the first time since Justin Brownlee (10 points, 13 boards) and D.J. Kennedy (19 points, 15 rebounds) accomplished the feat in a 72-60 win against Hofstra on Dec. 20, 2009.

Joel Smith made 7-of-12 3-pointers and finished with game-highs in both points (29) and rebounds (10) to lead Northeastern (3-1). After surrendering the first bucket of the second half, St. John's went on a quick 6-0 run and took its first lead of the game, 37-35, on a pair of Lindsey free throws with 17:50 to play. St. John's led by one, 43-42, with 13:41 to play before a pair of Smith 3s helped the Huskies take a 50-43 advantage. A Harkless 3 brought the Red Storm to within four, 59-55, but Northeastern used an 11-0 run to open up a 15-point lead, 70-55, with 4:24 left in the game. Northeastern made its first four 3-pointers to jump out to a 16-7 advantage and eventually led 26-14 with 10:51 left to play. St. John's rallied, however, as a Phil Greene trey and an Achiuwa fast break dunk capped an 11-0 run that brought the Red Storm to within one point, 26-25, with 4:10 remaining. The St. John's defense, in fact, limited the Huskies to just seven points in the final 10:15 and a Lindsey fadeaway at the buzzer brought the Red Storm to within two, 33-31, at the break.

Sir'Dominic Pointer added nine points and seven rebounds off the bench for the Red Storm, which shot 19-of-27 (70.4) from the line and was outrebounded by only five (48-43). Kentucky (7-0) was led by Anthony Davis, who scored 15 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and had eight of a school-record 18 blocks. Terrence Jones added 26 points and nine rebounds for the Wildcats. Kentucky kept extending its lead by holding St. John's to 31.7 percent shooting (19-of-60), and the fans got a few final thrills when Doron Lamb threw an 18foot alley-oop that Darius Miller slammed with one hand that made it 74-49 with 3:49 left. Kentucky didn't make any changes to its starting lineup with senior sixth man Miller entering less than 3 minutes in as the Wildcats got off to a sluggish start. Harkless gave St. John's a 2-0 lead, the biggest deficit that Kentucky had faced at Rupp Arena this season. The Wildcats committed five early turnovers and started 2-of-11 from the field to trail 5-4 before a 12-0 run with Davis heavily involved on both ends of the floor.

DETROIT - St. John's battled back from an 11-point halftime deficit to get to within two points in the second half, but Detroit held on for a 69-63 victory on the night of the school's unveiling of Dick Vitale Court at Calihan Hall.

NEW YORK - St. John's had five players for the first half, six for the second. The Red Storm's coach was about 1,000 miles away. Sounds like a recipe for a young team to lose its fourth straight game. Not this team.

Moe Harkless finished with a team-high 19 points and a game-high 11 rebounds to post his second-consecutive double-double, while Detroit-native Sir'Dominic Pointer added 10 points and eight boards for St. John's (4-5). D'Angelo Harrison chipped in with 15 points for the Red Storm, which shot a season-high 85.7 percent (18-of-21) from the free throw line and posted a season-high +16 (42-26) margin on the boards.

Freshman forward Moe Harkless had 13 points and 16 rebounds - marking his third-straight double-double - to lead short-handed St. John's to a 56-50 victory over Fordham on Saturday in the Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden.

Ray McCallum had 21 points and Chase Simon had 20 to lead Detroit (4-6), which shot 47.9 percent (23-of-48) from the floor despite a 5-of-18 (27.8) clip from beyond the arc.

It was the Red Storm's first game since Nurideen Lindsey transferred leaving them with a six-man rotation. Malik Stith sat out the first half for a minor team violation involving academics, but contributed a key steal in the second stanza. St. John's head coach Steve Lavin was not on the bench for the sixth time this season as he recovers from prostate cancer surgery.

St. John's worked quickly after intermission to cut into the 11-point deficit. After four free throws by God'sgift Achiuwa and a Phil Greene jumper, a Harkless 3-point play capped a 9-0 run as the Red Storm closed to within two, 32-30, with 17:24 to play. When Detroit responded to extend the lead back to nine, the Red Storm answered again as a Harkless trey and a Nurideen Lindsey layup made it a four point game, 43-39, with 10:57 to go. After a McCallum 3pointer put Detroit up eight with 2:02 remaining, St. John's responded again as Harrison countered immediately with a trey of his own to make it 60-55. The Titans, though, scored the next four points to re-establish a nine point lead, 6455, with just 1:13 left.

The Red Storm (5-5) appeared to take control with an 18-0 run that spanned halftime and gave them a 42-26 lead with 16:53 to play. But the Rams (4-6) had thoughts back to last year's game when they overcame a 21-point deficit in the second half to win 84-81.

Following an 8-0 run by the Titans to open the game, St. John's responded with a 15-7 run as a Lindsey jumper tied the game at 15-15 with 11:03 remaining. A LaMarcus Lowe 3-point play put Detroit back on top, 18-15, before back-toback jump shots by Pointer put the Red Storm up, 19-18, with 8:29 remaining. The Titans answered with another run, however, closing the half on a 14-2 spurt to take a 32-21 lead into halftime.

St. John's closed the half on an 11-0 run, with Harkless getting two jumpers, one a 3-pointer.

Fordham managed to close to 53-50 on a dunk by Kervin Bristol with 1:56 to play and had a chance to tie it after D'Angelo Harrison missed a jumper. St. John's, which had lost three straight, sealed the win by going 3-of-4 at the free throw line over the final 26 seconds.

Harrison had 15 points for St. John's, which finished with a 51-37 rebound advantage. Branden Frazier had 17 points and Gaston added 11 points and 14 rebounds for the Rams, who shot just 29.7 percent (19 for 64) from the field, including 8 of 29 from 3-point range.

St. John’s Providence

QUEENS, N.Y. - 'Tis the season for giving, and Texas-Pan American gave St. John's just about all it could handle on Wednesday night at Carnesecca Arena. Luckily for Red Storm fans, the Johnnies were in the giving mood as well down the stretch, and handed UTPA a 66-61 defeat. D'Angelo Harrison tied a career high with 21 points, which included the difference-making deep 3-pointer with 36 seconds left, to give St. John's its final lead and the victory. Harrison fired at a 7-for-13 clip from the field, sank three 3s and scored 17 points in the second half to lift the Red Storm. St. John's had already received a present earlier in the day as rookie Amir Garrett was declared eligible. Garrett played 15 minutes and had three points and two rebounds in a debut that preceded his first official full-length practice. The biggest gift of all, of course, was forward God'sgift Achiuwa. The junior had a career-high 22 point, nine-rebound performance that included a 10-for14 effort from the field and even featured his first career Division I 3-pointer. The Broncos extended a second-half lead to 12, 44-32 with 14:34 to play, before Harrison's initial flurry. His 10-0 personal run with two layups and a pair of 3s cut the deficit to two, 44-42 with 11:19 to play. St. John's closed to within one point four times before tying the game at 53-53 and eventually took a brief two-point lead - its first advantage since 6:32 in the first half. UTPA, however, made a pair of long treys to retake a 61-57 lead with just 3:45 and led by two with less than a minute in regulation. Harrison's long-range 3-pointer with 36 seconds on the clock put the Red Storm up 62-61 and Moe Harkless (9 points, 5 boards) added a steal and a fast break dunk to secure the victory. St. John's opened the game firing at an 8-for-11 clip and after Harrison drained a pair of free throws at the 11:34 mark, the Red Storm led by 10, 19-9. A Harkless trey gave the Red Storm a 22-15 lead at 10:32, but was also the last St. John's field goal of the half. The Broncos quickly cut into the lead before a Jesus Delgado layup tied the game at 24-24 with 6:32 to go. Another Delgado layup opened up an 8-0 run for UTPA as St. John's would miss its final nine field goals of the half and trail at the break, 32-24.

QUEENS, N.Y. - The list of great freshmen in the BIG EAST is long and star-studded. St. John's rookie Moe Harkless jumped to the top Tuesday night. The 6-foot-8 forward scored 32 points - the most ever by a freshman in his BIG EAST debut - and St. John's had its best offensive game of the season in a 91-67 victory over Providence. Fellow freshman D'Angelo Harrison had a season-high 25 points. Harkless looked stunned when he was told he passed Notre Dame's Troy Murphy and Georgetown's Allen Iverson, who both had 30 points in their freshman debut. "I don't even know what to say," Harkless said. "It's an honor to be mentioned with those guys. Being able to break the record is a great feeling." The win snapped the Friars' seven-game winning streak and left Providence coach Ed Cooley upset to say the least. St. John's guard Phil Greene, another freshman, had 12 points for the Red Storm (7-5, 1-0), which won its third-straight after a three-game losing streak and had a season-high for points. The previous best was 82 points in a 24-point win over UMBC. The Red Storm came into the game averaging 66.7 points - 15th in the 16-team BIG EAST - but they had 47 and a 16-point lead at halftime. Providence committed 20 turnovers, well over their season average of 13.2, and the Red Storm turned them into 34 points. Harkless, who was an efficient 14-of-17 from the field, had 13 rebounds for his fourth double-double in a five-game span. Gerard Coleman had 20 points for the Friars (11-3, 0-1), who had won threestraight road games and had been allowing only 62.9 points per game.

HARTFORD, Conn. - St. John's had four players in double-figures and committed just seven turnovers, but was held to 36.2 percent (21-of-58) shooting and lost for the first time in four games as No. 9/9 Connecticut shot 60.4 percent (29-of-48) to win its seventh-straight contest, 83-69.

NEW YORK - Just one game after facing the top-ranked BIG EAST squad in terms of field goal defense, St. John's had to face the second-ranked squad, No. 11/10 Louisville, and was held to just 28.1 percent (18-of-64) shooting in a 73-58 defeat on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

D'Angelo Harrison had a team-high 17 points, while God'sgift Achiuwa and Moe Harkless chipped in with 16 apiece to pace St. John's (7-6, 1-1). Sir'Dominic Pointer added a career-high 14 points and tied a career-high with eight rebounds for the Red Storm, which forced 15 turnovers and was outrebounded by just four (32-28) against a UConn squad that ranks third in the BIG EAST in rebounding margin.

D’Angelo Harrison recorded his fourth-career 20-point game with a game-high 24 points and also added a career-high eight rebounds for St. John’s (7-7, 1-2), while Moe Harkless chipped in with 12 points.

Shabazz Napier had 17 points and nine assists to lead Connecticut (12-1, 2-0), while Andre Drummond finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Both teams were led by assistant coaches as Steve Lavin continues to recover from successful prostate cancer surgery in October and Jim Calhoun served the second of a three-game suspension for NCAA violations. UConn made its first six field goals in the second half, capped by a Lamb trey that turned into a four-point play as the Huskies jumped out to a 52-35 lead with 15:29 remaining. The Huskies eventually led by as many as 23 points, 7047, before Harrison and Achiuwa combined to lead St. John's on a 9-0 run to cut the deficit to 70-56 with 5:20 left. The run eventually extended into a 14-2 spurt as the Red Storm closed to within 72-61 with 2:48 to play.

Russ Smith had 17 points to lead three Louisville (13-2, 1-1) players in doublefigures. Kyle Kuric scored 15 points and Gorgui Dieng had 12 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks. Louisville trailed 13-12 when it went on a 16-2 run during which St. John's missed all 11 shots from the field and committed three turnovers. Seven players scored the points for the Cardinals in the run. The Red Storm missed 25-of-26 shots at one point in the first half and were 5of-35 (14.3 percent) in falling behind 29-18. St. John's never got closer than 12 points in the second half and the Cardinals led by as many as 26.

A Niels Giffey trey helped the Huskies jump out to an early 10-point lead, 18-8, at the 11:17 mark, but St. John's quickly countered with a Pointer 3-pointer and an Achiuwa dunk cutting the deficit to five, 18-13. A pair of Jeremy Lamb 3s, however, helped extend the lead back to double-figures and a Drummond jumper gave the Huskies its largest lead of the first half, 35-21, with 4:11 to play. Entering the game averaging six 3s a game, UConn had five in the first half to take a 38-25 lead into halftime.

Game #16 Jan. 11, 2012 • Bradley Center 1 2 Total St. John’s 32 32 64 No. 25/24 Marquette 31 52 83

CINCINNATI - Moe Harkless beat the buzzer with a game-winning tip-in and posted his fifth-career double-double as St. John's notched its first road win of the season, a 57-55 triumph against a Cincinnati squad that had won sevenstraight games.

MILWAUKEE - Looking for its second-straight road win and its first win against a ranked opponent this season, St. John's led by one at halftime before No. 25/24 Marquette used a 52-point second half to defeat the Red Storm, 83-64, at the Bradley Center.

D'Angelo Harrison, the top-scoring BIG EAST freshman, totaled 18 points and seven rebounds to help lead St. John's (8-7, 2-2), while Harkless finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds. God'sgift Achiuwa added nine points and five boards as the Red Storm outrebounded the Bearcats by a +1 margin (43-42) and shot 42.9 percent (21-of-49).

Gods'gift Achiuwa scored a team-high 20 points to notch his third-career 20point performance and also added a team-best seven rebounds to pace St. John's (8-8, 2-3), which shot 40.7 percent (22-of-54) from the floor. Moe Harkless added 17 points and six boards, while D'Angelo Harrison, who was limited to just 20 minutes after fouling out midway through the second half, chipped in with 10 points.

Sean Kilpatrick scored a game-high 21 points to lead Cincinnati (12-4, 2-1), while Yancy Gates had a 10-point, seven-rebound performance and was the only other Bearcat in double-figures. Cincinnati was held to just 26.3 percent (20-of-76) shooting for the game, including a 21.9 percent (7-of-32) clip from beyond the arc.

Davante Gardner totaled 22 points and 15 rebounds to lead Marquette (13-4, 22), which scored 56 points in the paint and shot 55.9 percent (33-of-59) from the floor. Darius Johnson-Odom scored 20 points, while Jae Crowder and Todd Mayo added 15 and 12 points, respectively.

After Cincinnati tied the game at 55-55 with 9 seconds to play, St. John's brought the ball across midcourt and called a timeout with just 3.5 seconds on the clock. Harrison drove the baseline after the inbound pass, but his floater rolled off the rim. Harkless came in from the left side for the game-winning tip-in, which was upheld after an official review.

St. John's opened the second half with a Sir'Dominic Pointer layup before Harkless added another layup to put the Red Storm up by three, but JohnsonOdom scored five-straight points and a Crowder layup quickly put the Golden Eagles up, 42-36, with 16:25 remaining. The Red Storm trailed by just five with 12:52 to play, but Marquette used a 10-0 run to help open up a 20-point lead and eventually led by as many as 25, 76-51, with 4:24 to play.

St. John's made its first three shots of the second half as a Phil Greene layup and 3s from Harkless and Harrison put the Red Storm up 30-25 with 18:13 left. Cincinnati, meanwhile, missed its first 11 shots of the stanza and a Harkless tipin with 9:52 left capped a 21-3 run and gave the Red Storm its largest lead of the game, 43-28. St. John's led by 10, 52-42, with just 4:05 remaining before Cincinnati cut the lead to 52-49. Two Harrison free throws made it 55-52, but Jeremiah Davis made a 3 to tie the game with just 9 seconds in regulation. A Harrison trey at the 15:37 mark in the opening half quickly gave St. John's a 7-2 lead, but Cincinnati countered with a 16-3 run to take an 18-10 advantage with 9:33 to play in the half. A pair of Harrison free throws and a Malik Stith layup with 36 seconds remaining cut the deficit to three, 25-22, at halftime.

Neither team led by more than one point in the opening stanza until a Harrison trey at the 11:30 mark gave the Red Storm a 14-12 advantage. Another Harrison 3 and a Pointer free eventually capped a 7-0 run as St. John's took its largest lead of the game, 18-12, with 9:40 to play. The Golden Eagles answered with a quick 10-4 spurt to tie the game at 22-22, but an Achiuwa jumper and a Pointer slam helped St. John's reopen a four-point lead. A Gardner tip-in with less than a minute to play gave Marquette its first lead since the 12:42 mark, but Achiuwa answered with a dunk and the Red Storm led 32-31 at halftime.

Game #17 Jan. 15, 2012 • Madison Square Garden 1 2 Total St. John’s 19 30 49 No. 11/11 Georgetown 25 44 69

Jan. 18, 2012 1 St. John’s 22 USF 29

NEW YORK – Moe Harkless is the centerpiece of St. John's freshman class, four of whom start for the Red Storm. The 6-foot-8 forward is the second-leading scorer and rebounder among BIG EAST freshmen and he had another lesson Sunday in just how tough it is in conference play.

TAMPA, Fla. - Playing on the road for the third time in the past four games, St. John's was held to 49 points for the second-straight game as USF, which leads the BIG EAST conference in scoring defense, notched a 64-49 win at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. St. John's had won six-straight in the series against the Bulls.

Harkless had 21 points and 10 rebounds - his sixth double-double in the last 10 games - but he fouled out with 5:15 to play in the Red Storm's 69-49 loss to No. 11 Georgetown at Madison Square Garden.

Moe Harkless scored a team-high 12 points and added seven rebounds to pace St. John's (8-10, 2-5), which shot 40.0 percent (18-of-45) from the floor and 15.4 percent (2-of-13) from beyond the arc. God'sgift Achiuwa chipped in with 11 points and six rebounds, while Phil Greene added 10 points, four boards and three assists.

St. John's (8-9, 2-4 BIG EAST) was able to get the crowd of 11,475 back into the game with an 8-0 run that brought the Red Storm within 48-45 with 6:36 left. But Georgetown's Hollis Thompson, who scored all 20 of his points in the second half, hit a 3 in front of the Hoyas' bench to end the run and center Henry Sims then got Harkless to foul him on consecutive possessions. He made three of the four free throws, but much more important was that they were Harkless' fourth and fifth fouls. The Hoyas closed the game with a 21-4 run. Jason Clark had 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists and freshman Otto Porter added 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Hoyas (14-3, 4-2 BIG EAST), who had lost to West Virginia and Cincinnati after an 11-game winning streak. Freshman Sir'Dominic Pointer had 12 points for the Red Storm, which has lost four-of-five and dropped to 0-7 this season against ranked teams. Last season, St. John's had six wins over teams in the Top 25. Harrison, who averaged 19.2 points on 43.8 percent shooting over the last six games, finished with five points on 1-for-12 shooting. Georgetown used a 7-0 run early in the second half to take a 35-25 lead and the final points of it were a 3-pointer and an impressive dunk on the fast break by Thompson.

Game #18 • Tampa Bay Times Forum 2 Total 27 49 35 64

Victor Rudd Jr. made five 3-pointers and scored a game-high 24 points, all in the second half, to lead USF (11-8, 4-2), while Jawanza Poland added 16 points. Augustus Gilchrist, the Bulls' leading scorer, was limited to four points. USF, which shot 50.0 percent in the opening half, finished the game firing at a 46.8 percent clip (22-of-47) and made 8-of-16 3-pointers. USF went on a 10-2 run to open the second stanza as a Rudd Jr. trey put the Bulls up 39-24 with 17:21 remaining. St. John's answered as Harkless drained a 3 and Amir Garrett swished a pair of free throws to close the deficit to 11 points, but an 11-2 run pushed the USF lead to 20 and another Rudd Jr. 3-pointer gave the Bulls their largest lead of the game, 60-39, with 4:53 to play. A pair of D'Angelo Harrison free throws put St. John's on the board first in the opening frame and Greene followed with a jumper and a dunk to put the Red Storm up 6-2 at 15:54. Two free throws from Achiuwa helped maintain the four-point advantage at 8-4, but a Poland trey leveled the score at 11-11 with 12:43 to play. The teams then traded baskets until the Bulls took the lead for good, 17-15, on a pair of Ron Anderson Jr. free throws. USF took a 29-22 lead into the locker room as St. John's was held to just seven field goals (7-of-20) in the first half.

St. John's, which came into the game 15th in the 16-team Big East in 3-point shooting at 25.8 percent, finished 0-of-10 from beyond the arc. OfficialBasketballBox Score-- GameTotals-- FinalStatistics Georgetown vs St. John's 1/15/1212p.m.at NewYork,N.Y.(MadisonSquareGarden) Georgetown

Jan. 25, 2012 1 St. John’s 36 West Virginia 20

NEW YORK - The odds were stacked pretty heavily against St. John's in the final moments of overtime. St. John's freshman guard D'Angelo Harrison had scored a career-high 28 points despite playing just 31 minutes and fouling out with 1:52 to go in the extra session. The Red Storm was being heavily outrebounded, a margin that would total minus-16 by game's end. And the youngest squad in college basketball had turned the ball over 21 times, even while forcing 23 from Villanova. But there St. John's was, still with a chance to capture an elusive BIG EAST victory. Villanova junior guard Maalik Wayns scored 28 points, his third-straight game with at least 25, and Villanova beat St. John's 79-76 in overtime Saturday at Madison Square Garden. St. John's led 60-50 with 6:49 to play in regulation, but the Wildcats were able to tie it at 67 on a jumper by Wayns with 30 seconds left in regulation. Villanova opened the overtime on an 8-1 run, but the win wasn't sealed until Wayns made two free throws with 22 seconds left that made it 79-76. STJ freshman Sir'Dominic Pointer missed a possible tying 3-pointer with three seconds left. Dominic Cheek had 20 points and JayVaughn Pinkston added 13 points and 12 rebounds for Villanova (10-10, 3-5).

NEW YORK - There can't be a younger starting five than St. John's had Wednesday night against West Virginia. Five freshmen were introduced as the starting lineup for the Red Storm and when the game was over they snapped a four-game losing streak with a 78-62 victory. They had a blast in this one. The Red Storm (9-11, 3-6 BIG EAST) used runs of 8-0 and 9-0 to take a 36-20 halftime lead and led by as many as 21 points in the second half. It was believed to be the first time St. John's started five freshmen since the 1927-28 season with the team that went on to be known as "The Wonder Five." Freshmen were not eligible for varsity competition from the early 1950s until 1972. St. John's looked nothing like the team that entered the game last in the 16team conference in field goal percentage (42.2), finishing at 48.4 percent (31of-64). They even improved their last-place 3-point percentage (24.4), making 4of-12. West Virginia (15-6, 5-3), which had won three-straight and five of six, struggled offensively all game. The Mountaineers came in fourth in the Big East with a 46.6 shooting percentage but they finished at 35.4 percent (23-of-65). Kevin Jones, who leads the BIG EAST in scoring (20.7) and rebounding (11.5), finished with 26 points and 14 rebounds, but it wasn't close to being enough.

Forward Moe Harkless had 16 points for the Red Storm (8-11, 2-6), who lost its fourth straight and sixth of seven, while point guard Phil Greene added a season-high 14. They are two of the four freshmen who start for St. John's, which plays just seven players.

Freshman D'Angelo Harrison, coming off a season-high 28 points against Villanova, had 19 points for the Red Storm, who had won just one of its first six games this season at Madison Square Garden.

Mouphtaou Yarou had 13 rebounds for the Wildcats, who finished with a 52-36 advantage on the boards.

West Virginia closed within 68-59 on a basket by Bryant with 2:46 to go, but that was as close as the Mountaineers would get.

Harkless made 4-of-9 free throws for the Red Storm, who came in shooting 69 percent from the line. Villanova was 15-of-26 from the free-throw line, well off their conference-leading 76.4 percent coming in.

This was the Red Storm's second-straight win over West Virginia after losing 10 in a row in the series. The Mountaineers had won five straight at St. John's.

St. John’s DePaul

DURHAM, N.C. - Starting five freshman for the second-straight game and playing against a ranked opponent for the eighth time this season, St. John's cut a 22-point second half deficit down to four with less than a minute to play before No. 8/6 Duke held on for an 83-76 win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Moe Harkless registered his second-career 30-point game, finishing with 30 points and 13 rebounds for his second-straight double-double and the eighth of his career. D'Angelo Harrison recorded his sixth 20-point effort this year, helping pace St. John's (9-12) with a 21-point afternoon.

ROSEMONT, Ill. - Freshman D'Angelo Harrison scored a career-high 29 points and drained seven 3-pointers, one shy of tying a school-record, as St. John's shot a sizzling 73.3 percent (22-of-30) as part of a 57-point second half and notched its second BIG EAST road win of the season with an 87-81 triumph against DePaul at Allstate Arena. Harrison was 8-of-19 and knocked down 7-of-11 3s to come within one of tying the school-record of eight set by Avery Patterson against UNF on Nov. 10, 2006. The freshman's seven treys were the most since D.J. Kennedy made seven in a thrilling triple overtime win at DePaul on March 5, 2010.

Mason Plumlee had 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds and Ryan Kelly added 16 points to lead four players in double-figures for Duke (18-3), which won its 94th-consecutive non-conference game at home. Andre Dawkins and Austin Rivers chipped in with 14 and 12 points, respectively, for the Blue Devils, who held their 22-point advantage with 17:09 left.

God'sgift Achiuwa added 15 points to help lead St. John's (10-12, 4-6), while Phil Greene reached double-figures for the fourth time in the past five games with a 14-point effort in his homecoming. Amir Garrett added a career-high 12 points to give the Red Storm four players in double-figures.

Harrison's 3 with 20.7 seconds left pulled the Red Storm to within 79-75. Kelly answered with two free throws to put Duke back up by six.

Cleveland Melvin had 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead DePaul (11-10, 2-7), while Brandon Young also had a double-double with 13 points and 11 assists.

The Red Storm, the last non-Atlantic Coast Conference team to win at Cameron (Feb. 26, 2000), thumped Duke 93-78 last year at Madison Square Garden. None of the current players saw the court in that game, and the coach who orchestrated that beating - Steve Lavin - has been out for much of the season while recovering from prostate cancer surgery.

DePaul had the hot hand to open the second half and quickly extended its slim halftime lead to nine, 40-31, at 17:45. Harrison, however, buried four 3s in a span of just 2:49 to close the deficit to three, 48-45. The Blue Demons built their lead back to eight, 59-51, before a Sir'Dominic Pointer jumper capped a 13-0 run and gave the Red Storm a five-point advantage, 64-59, with 8:27 left. DePaul came back again to level the score at 64-64, but Harrison's seventh trey broke the tie, gave St. John's the lead for good and opened a quick 9-2 spurt that Greene capped with a slam to give the Red Storm a 73-66 lead.

One of the Red Storm's easiest baskets of the day wound up being the impetus for the run that seemed to put Duke in control. An incensed Mike Krzyzewski called a time out after Harkless slipped free for a dunk down the lane to make it 23-20 midway through the first half. The Blue Devils responded with a 20-3 run keyed by Dawkins that put them up by 20. The junior guard hit three 3-pointers over the Red Storm's 1-2-2 zone defense, both starting and ending the run by connecting from long range. His third 3 made it 43-23 with 1:45 before the break.

Harrison gave St. John's an early 7-3 advantage with a trey at the 17:59 mark and after DePaul took an 8-7 lead, the freshman answered with another 3pointer to put the Red Storm back up 10-8 with 16:42 to go. After the Red Storm tied the game at 14-14, the Blue Demons reeled off a 17-5 run to open up their largest lead of the game, 31-19, with 4:41 in the half. St. John's came right back, however, closing the half on an 11-0 run to go into halftime down by just one, 31-30.

NEW YORK - Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim was answering a lot of questions about his team after No. 2 Syracuse's latest win. One of his most interesting responses, however, was about the St. John's team his Orange had just beaten 95-70 on Saturday.

NEW YORK - St. John's "Fresh Five" - which has shown flourishes of its bright future over the past two weeks - displayed how young it is on Wednesday night at The Garden, as a tough night all around - shooting, rebounding and on defense - doomed the Red Storm to a 76-54 loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Boeheim, who tied Dean Smith for third place on the coaches' all-time victory list with win No. 879, could only shake his head when he spoke of the Red Storm, who have five freshmen and a junior college transfer in their seven-man rotation.

Cincinnati entered the game third in the conference in points allowed (60.4) and that number went down as the Bearcats held the Red Storm to 32.8 percent shooting (19-for-58) for the game. The Bearcats shot 51.7 percent (31-of60), including going 7-of-16 from 3-point range.

Fab Melo scored a career-high 14 points in his return after a three-game absence and Syracuse (23-1, 10-1 Big East) rallied behind the return of the 7footer, taking a 41-27 halftime lead and blowing it open by starting the second half on a 16-3 run in front of a sellout crowd of 19,979 at Madison Square Garden, most of whom were wearing orange.

The big win by the Bearcats (17-7, 7-4 BIG EAST) ended a string of four-straight games between the teams that ended with two-point margins, including St. John's 57-55 win at Cincinnati on Jan. 7.

Rookie guard D'Angelo Harrison had 23 points for the Red Storm (10-13, 4-7), who fell to 0-9 this season against ranked teams. They had four wins last season over top-10 teams. Freshman forward Moe Harkless added 15 points and rookie floor general Phil Greene had 14. It would have been the fourth straight game St. John's started five freshmen the "Fresh Five" - but Harrison didn't start because he was late for the team bus. He was in the game within the first three minutes after a career-high 29 points against DePaul in the Red Storm's previous game. Dion Waiters and C.J. Fair both had 14 points for the Orange, whose only loss this season was at Notre Dame in the first game of the three Melo missed. Kris Joseph and Michael Carter-Williams had 13 points each for Syracuse, which shot 55.7 percent (39 for 70) from the field.

Sean Kilpatrick, the Bearcats' leading scorer with a 15.4 average, scored 10straight points as part of a 12-3 run that gave Cincinnati a 44-27 lead with 15:26 to play. He had eight rebounds. Yancy Gates had 14 points and nine rebounds and Cashmere Wright had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Bearcats, who finished with a 49-29 rebound advantage. Rookie guard D'Angelo Harrison had 15 points to lead the Red Storm (10-14, 48 BIG EAST), which has lost three of four and fell to 2-7 this season at Madison Square Garden. Point guard Phil Greene added eight points, five boards and three assists, while swingman Sir'Dominic Pointer scored six with seven boards and Harkless contributed six points and five rebounds. St. John's fans cheered as the Red Storm walk-ons saw time toward the game's end, and junior Jamal White scored a career-high six points on a pair of 3-pointers.

St. John’s Seton Hall

WASHINGTON - Starting its five freshman "Fresh Five" lineup for the fifth time this year and playing against its 10th ranked opponent of the season, St. John's trailed by just two points midway through the second half before Georgetown used some late 3-pointers to defeat the Red Storm, 71-61, at the Verizon Center. D'Angelo Harrison poured in a game-high 24 points to notch his ninth-career 20-point game and fifth in the past seven contests. Moe Harkless also reached 20 points for the fifth time in his career, chipping in 20 points and six boards to help pace St. John's (10-15, 4-9). The Red Storm shot 40.4 percent (21-of-52) from the floor and committed just six turnovers, its fewest since turning the ball over four times in the season-opening win against William & Mary. Greg Whittington scored 12 points to lead five players in double-figures for Georgetown (19-5, 9-4). Jason Clark, Markel Starks and Otto Porter had 11 apiece, while Hollis Thompson added 10 for the Hoyas, which shot 49.0 percent (24-of-49) and held a +7 (33-26) margin on the boards. An Amir Garrett steal set up a fastbreak dunk for Harkless to open the second half before a Phil Greene jumper and four Harkless free throws paced a 6-2 run that brought the Red Storm to within 44-42 with 10:06 remaining. Starks answered with a 3-pointer, but two more Harkless free throws brought St. John's back to within three, 47-44. The Red Storm then had back-to-back possessions with a chance to tie the game, but a missed 3-pointer was followed by a turnover and a Thompson layup put the Hoyas back up five. The Red Storm closed to within three points two more times, but Georgetown answered with a 3-pointer on both occasions to bring the lead back to six. The Hoyas jumped out to an early eight-point lead, 15-7, at the 12:11 mark, but missed their next five shots and a Harrison 3 capped a 7-0 run that brought St. John's to within one, 15-14, with 7:33 in the half. A Thompson 3-pointer helped Georgetown quickly extend the lead back to seven and the Hoyas led by five, 31-26, at the break.

NEWARK, N.J. - Moe Harkless notched his ninth-career double-double and all five members of "The Fresh Five" finished in double-figures for St. John's, but Seton Hall shot 62.3 percent (33-of-53) from the field and drained 15 3-pointers to grab a 94-64 win at the Prudential Center. Harkless finished with 15 points and a game-high 11 rebounds to lead St. John's (10-16, 4-10), while D'Angelo Harrison and Sir'Dominic Pointer added 12 points apiece. Amir Garrett and Phil Greene each chipped in with 10 points as the Red Storm had five in double-figures for the first time since Nov. 13, 2011 in a win against UMBC at Carnesecca Arena. Jordan Theodore and Herb Pope both had double-doubles to lead six players in double-figures for Seton Hall (18-8, 7-7). Theodore finished with 16 points and 10 assists, while Pope had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Brandon Mobley and Aaron Cosby added 14 points each for the Pirates, which made 15-of-24 (62.5 percent) of their 3-pointers and had a +13 edge (39-26) on the glass. A pair of quick 3s and a Fuquan Edwin layup extended the Seton Hall lead to 20 points, 52-32, with 16:22 in regulation. A Harkless dunk turned into a 3point play and a Harrison layup brought St. John's to within 58-43, but two more Seton Hall 3s brought the lead back to 21, 64-43. The Pirates would go on to make their first nine 3-pointers of the half, the ninth of which stretched the lead to 75-45 with 9:26 to play. A pair of Greene treys cut the deficit to 25, 86-61, but St. John's would get no closer. After a Harrison trey tied the game at 5-5, Seton Hall jumped out a 16-9 advantage at the 13:23 mark. A jam by Harkless and a pair of Harrison free throws helped cut the deficit to one, 16-15, but the Pirates responded with a 10-0 burst to grab a 26-15 lead with 6:41 left in the half. Seton Hall would use 3s from Theodore and Haralds Karlis to lead by as many as 15 with 1:32 remaining, but Harrison swished a long ball and Harkless added a jumper in the closing seconds to cut the deficit to 40-28 at the break.

St. John’s DePaul

NEW YORK - On Saturday at The Garden, St. John's came up with a big win by doing all the little things. The Red Storm used a slew of hustle plays to beat UCLA 66-63 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. The biggest of those hustle plays came with 6.5 seconds to play when Phil Greene tipped in D'Angelo Harrison's 3-point attempt as the shot clock ran out. The offensive rebound was the first of the game for Greene, a 6-foot-2 guard, and the 19th for St. John's (11-16). It gave the Red Storm a 66-62 lead on their way to ending a four-game losing streak. Fellow "Fresh Five" rookie starter Harrison scored 22 points for St. John's, which finished with a 19-15 edge on the offensive glass that it turned into a 2615 advantage in second-chance points and a 34-30 lead in points in the paint. Jermine Anderson made 1-of-2 free throws for UCLA (15-12) with 4.7 seconds left. Harkless missed the front of a 1-and-1 with 3 seconds left but the ball bounced around for a second or two and the Bruins didn't get off a good shot attempt at the buzzer. Sir'Dominic Pointer had 13 points and seven rebounds for the Red Storm, who prevailed in the matchup of the Big East and Pac-12. After being outrebounded 39-26 in a 30-point loss to Seton Hall, Dunlap said the team had to adapt more of a "gang tackle" approach off the glass. Tyler Lamb had 18 points and David Wear and Joshua Smith both had 13 points for the Bruins. Travis Wear had 11 points and 13 rebounds for UCLA. UCLA finished with 16 turnovers, well above its average of 11 per game, and eight were committed by Lamb. Pointer's dunk with 13:16 left gave the Red Storm the lead for good at 47-45. The Bruins got within one point twice, the last at 54-53 on a rebound basket by Travis Wear. Wear's rebound basket with 43 seconds left brought UCLA to 64-62. The Red Storm ran the shot clock down and Harrison took the 3 that Greene tipped in.

QUEENS, N.Y. - It's clear that St. John's five-man freshman lineup - the "Fresh Five" - is the foundation for the Red Storm's future. That doesn't mean, however, they're incapable of impressing in the present. Rookie guard D'Angelo Harrison scored 23 points - marking his 11th 20-plus point performance of the season - and freshman forward Amir Garrett added a season-high 18 with a career-high nine boards to lead St. John's to a 79-72 victory over DePaul and a season sweep of the regular-season series. Their classmate, first-year swingman Moe Harkless added 14 points and grabbed his 10th rebound at the buzzer to record his 11th double-double, placing him in a fifth-place tie among all active BIG EAST leaders, regardless of class. Freshman floor general Phil Greene scored 10 with three assists and three steals, while defensive dynamo Sir'Dominic Pointer contributed nine points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals. The Red Storm (12-16, 5-10 BIG EAST) has won two-straight after losing four in a row and now owns sole possession of 11th place in the 16-team conference. Harrison, now with 479 first-year points, is only 21 away from tying the St. John's all-time freshman scoring record. Harkless, with 438 points, is not far behind. The record currently belongs to Erick Barkley, who netted 500 even in his 1998-99 rookie campaign. Cleveland Melvin had 18 points and a career-high 15 rebounds for the Blue Demons (11-16, 2-13), which have lost seven straight and 12-of-13. St. John's had two field goals - the second with 10 seconds left - over the final 4:46 but the Red Storm went 10-for-12 from the free throw line over that span to hold off DePaul, which stayed within six points until the final basket. The Red Storm came into the game shooting 68.3 percent from the line. Brandon Young added 17 points and Jamee Crockett had 15 but he was 1-for11 from 3-point range. The Blue Demons, who came in shooting 34.1 percent from beyond the arc, finished 6-of-31 (19.4 percent). St. John's forced DePaul into 18 turnovers, which the Red Storm harvested into 24 points.

St. John’s Pitt

NEW YORK - Back-to-back Saturdays at Madison Square Garden have resulted in back-to-back nationally televised victories for the Red Storm and its "Fresh Five." Exactly one week after toppling UCLA 66-63 at The World's Most Famous Arena, the Red Storm rose up to down its first ranked foe of the season with a 61-58 victory over No. 20/18 Notre Dame.

PITTSBURGH - D'Angelo Harrison broke the St. John's freshman scoring record and notched his 12th-career 20-point performance with a game-high 21 points as the Red Storm shot 50.0 percent (26-of-52) from the field as a team, but Pittsburgh countered by firing at a 63.3 percent (31-of-49) clip and used a 51point second half to defeat the Red Storm, 89-69.

Sandwich in Monday's 79-72 win over DePaul at Carnesecca Arena, and St. John's is now riding a three-game win streak, matching its two prior longest victorious stretches this season. Per usual with a Steve Lavin team, with March on the near horizon, the Fresh Five appears to be playing its best basketball.

Entering the night needing just six points to match the freshman record of 500 points set in 1998-99 by Erick Barkley, Harrison tied the mark with a trey at the 7:55 mark before breaking it with a layup at 7:07. Phil Greene scored a careerhigh 18 points and added seven assists to help pace St. John's (13-17, 6-11), while God'sgift Achiuwa finished with 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting.

Freshman forward Moe Harkless scored 22 points with nine rebounds and classmate D'Angelo Harrison added 15 for St. John's (13-16, 6-10). That wasn't surprising since Harrison (17.1) came into the game second among freshmen in the nation in scoring and Harkless (15.6) was seventh. What was unexpected was that Amir Garrett, another of the five freshmen starters, had 11 points, including the drive that gave the Red Storm the final three-point lead with 8.9 seconds to play. Notre Dame's last of 27 3-point misses was off at the buzzer, as the Irish finished 4-of-31 from beyond the arc. Scott Martin and Jack Cooley both had 18 points for the Fighting Irish (20-9, 124), which had won a program-record nine straight conference games. Alex Dragevich missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer for Notre Dame, which shot a season-worst 12.9 percent from 3-point range. The Fighting Irish could have moved into a tie for second place in the BIG EAST with No. 10 Marquette. Harkless hit a 3-pointer that gave St. John's a 53-41 lead with 9:15 to play. Notre Dame went on an 11-2 run to get within 55-52 with 4:51 left. Eric Atkins capped the run with a 3-pointer, Notre Dame's only one of the second half in 14 attempts. The Fighting Irish closed within one point twice in the final 1:28, but Harkless scored down low the first time and Garrett connected on the drive the second time.

Game #30 Feb. 29, 2012 • Petersen Events Center 1 2 Total 33 36 69 38 51 89

Ashton Gibbs scored 19 points to lead Pitt (16-14, 5-12), which had four players in double-figures and also shot 47.6 percent (10-of-21) from beyond the arc. Dante Taylor added 17 points and grabbed a game-high eight boards to help the Panthers post a +14 margin (31-17) on the glass. Pitt quickly opened the second half on a 14-4 run to take a 52-37 lead with 16:11 left in regulation. A Greene 3-pointer helped bring the Red Storm back to within 12, 54-42, but a 3 by Gibbs extended the deficit to 20 before a J.J. Moore trey gave Pitt its largest lead of the game, 67-44, with 10:56 to play. St. John's countered with a run of its own as a Greene fastbreak layup capped a 90 rally that closed the margin to 13 points, 70-57. Greene later added a jumper to get the Red Storm within 12, but a 12-2 Pitt run made it an 86-64 game. A Greene 3 at the 16:13 mark punctuated a 5-0 spurt and gave St. John's its largest lead of the game, 12-7, but Pitt answered with a 12-2 run to grab a 1914 advantage with 12:17 remaining in the half. The Red Storm battled back, however, as Harrison netted a 3-pointer before breaking the scoring record and giving St. John's a 24-23 lead at the 7:07 mark. The Panthers went back up by as many as six and St. John's closed to within one on three occasions, but it was Pitt that took a 38-33 lead into the break.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - In a game in which neither team led by more than five points and also featured eight ties and 10 lead changes, Rutgers held on for a 61-58 win against St. John's in the BIG EAST regular season finale. D'Angelo Harrison scored a game-high 17 points to lead St. John's (13-18, 6-12), while Amir Garrett finished with 14 points and nine rebounds. God'sgift Achiuwa added 12 points and eight boards for St. John's, which shot just 10-of22 (45.5 percent) from the free throw line. Moe Harkless finished with eight points and a game-high 11 boards. Eli Carter had 15 points and Mike Poole added 11 for Rutgers (14-17, 6-12), which had four players in double-figures. Dane Miller had 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Myles Mack added 10 points for the Scarlet Knights, Rutgers broke the tie after the break and a Gilvydas Biruta layup helped the Scarlet Knights grab a four-point lead, 33-29, with 15:53 to play. After a Harrison 3 and a Sir'Dominic Pointer layup put St. John's back on top, Rutgers answered before a Harkless layup leveled the score at 38-38, the seventh tie of the game. Rutgers retook the lead, but St. John's went on an 11-2 run to take its largest lead of the game, 49-44, with 6:07 to go. Tied for the eighth time at 52-52, a pair of Harrison free throws and an Achiuwa jam put the Red Storm up 56-52 with just 2:38 remaining. A Miller tip-in and a Mack 3-pointer, however, gave Rutgers the lead back at 57-56. An Achiuwa offensive board and follow put the Red Storm up 58-57 with less than a minute to go, but a Miller putback slam gave the Scarlet Knights the 59-58 edge with nine seconds left. Rutgers made a pair of free throws and a halfcourt shot by Harrison rimmed out. A Carter 3-pointer capped a 7-2 Rutgers run to open the game, but St. John's countered with a 9-2 run as a Pointer jumper gave the Red Storm an 11-9 lead with 10:57 to play. After the Scarlet Knights tied the game, a Harkless layup put the Red Storm back up by four, 15-11. Rutgers tied the game again at 1515, the fourth tie of the contest, before fastbreak layups by Harrison and Garrett put St. John's back up by four, 19-15. A Harrison steal and another fastbreak layup followed by a Harkless jam put the Red Storm up 25-22 with 1:24 in the half, but a Carter trey leveled the score at 25-25 at the break.
