December 27, 1982. On that day, the St. John’s Red Storm defeated the BYU Cougars 75-64 to improve to 10-0 on the season. The Red Storm would go 28-5 that season, en route to a Big East Tournament Championship.
36 years later, the Johnnies look to hit the 10-0 threshold once again. They have had only two opportunities previously to push their win total to 10-0. The first came back in the 1986-87 season, and the Villanova Wildcats tagged them with a 62-54 loss. The second and last chance they’ve had of getting to that mark came in the 1990-91 campaign.
