Fans can also keep up with St. John's travels on the team's official Twitter and Instagram accounts.

St. John's Men's Basketball last embarked on a foreign tour in 2013, when the team played international exhibitions in both France and Italy.

All 13 scholaship players will be making the nine-day trip, eight of whom are returners and five of whom are entering their first season with the Johnnies.

Two of those Johnnies are quite familiar with the team's destination, as David Jones and Joel Soriano have been mainstays of the Dominican national system throughout their playing careers.

Season tickets for the 2022-23 men's basketball campaign are on sale now. Fans can secure their seats by calling 1-888-GO-STORM or by visiting RedStormTix.com.
