QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's men's basketball team will play its second and final preseason exhibition on Saturday night when it welcomes Southern New Hamphshire University to Carnesecca Arena.

The Red Storm rolled to a 30-point victory, 85-55, in its exhibition opener on Wednesday night against another Divisoin II NE10 school, Adelphi. Six Johnnies finished that game in double figures, led by freshman guard AJ Storr with 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Joel Soriano, O'Mar Stanley and Andre Curbelo tallied 12 points apiece on a combined 18-of-23 shooting while David Jones and Montez Mathis each added 10 points. Preseason First Team All-BIG EAST selection Posh Alexander dished out 10 assists in the preseason victory.
