Fresh off their first placement in the AP Top 25 Men’s Basketball Poll since 2019, the St. John’s men’s basketball team escaped a near-upset at the hands of Wagner College. The Red Storm was far from perfect in the 66-45 victory, but a late surge eliminated any chance of embarrassment.

Just as they did in their previous two blowout victories, St. John’s didn’t look the part of a nationally ranked squad in the contest’s opening 20 minutes.
