St. John's will continue its five-game season-opening homestand with its second game of the season at Madison Square Garden. The Red Storm has now won 12-straight games at The Mecca, tying the 2024-25 team's 12-0 mark for the second-longest MSG winning streak in program history. The program record for consecutive victories at The World's Most Famous Arena in 14 set from 1985-87.
The Red Storm and the Orange will meet for the 93rd time in the history of the two programs, a series that dates back to 1912. The Orange owns a 51-41 edge all-time, but St. John's has won four straight against its former BIG EAST foe since 2014-15. It will be the first meeting between the two teams since 2022, an overtime win for the Johnnies in Brooklyn, and the first contest at The World's Most Famous Arena since 2015-16. St. John's is 8-3 against former BIG EAST members since the formation of the "new" league in 2013-14, highlighted by a 4-1 record against Syracuse.
St. John's will look to continue its perfect start to 2026-27 when it welcomes the Orange on Sunday night. In their last outing, the Johnnies took down Colgate, 90-59. Five Johnnies finished in double figures, led by 17 points apiece from Keyshawn Hall and Ian Jackson.
Quinn Ellis continued to wow the Carnesecca Arena crowd, finishing with nine assists, six rebounds, four steals, a block and no turnovers. According to the Elias Sports Database, Ellis is the only NCAA player since 2005-06 to record seven or more assists and three or more steals with no more than one turnover in three straight games. Through games played on Thursday, Ellis ranks third nationally in assists per game (9.0) and eighth in assist-to-turnover ratio (13.5-to-1).
Tounde Yessoufou scored 15 points for the Red Storm on Wednesday night while Lefteris Liotopoulos added 13 and Ruben Prey chipped in 11.
Syracuse enters the weekend with a record of 2-1 after falling to Indiana, 83-80, on Monday night in Indianapolis. The Orange led by four at the half before coming out on the wrong end of a back-and-forth second stanza that saw potential game-tying 3-pointer fall short as time expired.
Four members of the Orange are averaging double figures, led by Kiyan Anthony at 15.7 points per game. The son of Syracuse legend Carmelo Anthony, the sophomore tallied 16 points against the Hoosiers.
Siena transfer Gavin Doty is averaging 12.3 points and a team-high 8.3 boards per contest followed by Sadiq White Jr. at 11.7 points and 7.7 caroms per contest.
Freshman point guard Ryan Moesch led the Orange with 19 points, six assists and a pair of steals against Indiana.
As a team, Syracuse is shooting 51.4% from the field and sports an assist-to-turnover ratio of just under 2-to-1. As of Friday morning, Syracuse ranks 19th nationally with a 12.4 turnover percentage according to KenPom.
After taking on the Orange, St. John's will return to Carnesecca Arena to host Siena on Wednesday night. That game will tip off at 7 p.m. on truTV and 880 AM ESPN New York.
