The point of an event like Red Storm Tip-Off is to hype up the fans for the coming season. And by that criteria, Friday’s Red Storm Tip-Off did not disappoint, with 20 recruits in attendance and a crowd that hit frenzied highs.
St. John’s annual Red Storm Tip-Off was held last night at Carnesecca Arena to a sold-out crowd, introducing each men’s and women’s basketball player. Each introduction alternated between the male and female players, most of whom performed a dance set to hip-hop music. The coaching staffs for both teams were then introduced, with men’s coach Chris Mullin predictably getting the most applause from the audience.
