Current San Antonio Spur and former Red Storm standout Julian Champagnie went off for 29 points and 10 rebounds in the victory.
The Red Storm will also make its 11th appearance inside Barclays Center, logging an 8-2 mark in Brooklyn since the building's debut in 2012. The Johnnies have secured a pair of non-conference tournament titles on the Brooklyn Nets' home court, capturing the 2018 Legends Classic title and the 2022 Empire Classic championship.
Last season, St. John's took down Temple, 78-72, behind Montez Mathis' 16-point showing and a 15-point, 12-board outing from Joel Soriano to advance into the Empire Classic championship game against Syracuse. Soriano followed the performance by posting 19 points and 14 rebounds in the team's 76-69 overtime triumph over the Orange the next night.
