QUEENS, N.Y. – Fresh off a road victory over Georgetown, the St. John's men's basketball team (15-12, 7-9) will welcome No. 15/15 Creighton (20-7, 11-5) to Madison Square Garden on Sunday. CBS will carry the national broadcast from Midtown with tip-off set for 12 p.m.

An audio broadcast of the game on the LEARFIELD Red Storm Sports Network with John Minko and Brandon Tierney will also be available on a variety of platforms including the Varsity Network App, TuneIn Radio, RedStormSports.com and the St. John's Red Storm mobile app. The radio broadcast can also be heard on SiriusXM channel 380 and the SiriusXM App.
On Sunday, St. John's will celebrate the proud history and contributions of the University over its 154-year history with its Johnnies Day celebration in New York City. On Johnnies Day, the University encourages the entire St. John's community and the city that it is proud to call home since 1870 to share their school pride both in person at MSG and on social media by using the hashtag #JohnniesDay.
St. John's will also host its annual whiteout game on Sunday and its first at "The World's Most Famous Arena." All Red Storm fans are encouraged to come in white or wear the white Johnnies Day t-shirt that will be distributed to 12,000 fans in attendance.
The University is set to hold a pep rally in the lobby of the Theatre at Madison Square Garden with various giveaways, such as St. John's t-shirts, rally towels, and treats until tip-off. The Z100 Party Patrol will be on site. Johnnies Day will also feature a Penn Station Takeover and prominent branding throughout Moynihan Train Hall.
The Red Storm aims for its second-straight victory after earning a 90-85 road win on Wednesday at Georgetown. St. John's shot a season-high 57.6 percent from the field against the Hoyas while Jordan Dingle led the Johnnies with a season-best 22 points.
St. John's returns to Madison Square Garden for its first contest in Midtown in just over three weeks.

Joel Soriano went 21 points shooting 8-for-9 from the field to go with eight rebounds in the victory over the Wildcats.
The Red Storm looks for its first win over a ranked opponent since last year's Johnnies Day when St. John's took down No. 20/17 Providence on Feb. 11, 2023 at MSG. Soriano recorded a double-double (10 points, 13 rebounds) to help lift the Johnnies to a 73-68 victory.
