St. John’s basketball is continuing its non-conference scheduling makeover amid chaos in the sport.

Everyone said that scheduling in the 2020-21 college basketball season would be a nightmare and the St. John’s basketball program is experiencing that in the early stages of the year.

COVID-19 positive cases forced cancellations against Sacred Heart and Fordham and then the Red Storm announced on Monday that it would not be making the trip to Lubbock, Texas on Thursday to face Texas Tech over concerns about the virus.

Head coach Mike Anderson and the Johnnies adjusted on the fly and will remain in Connecticut at Mohegan Sun Arena and face BYU in the Legend Classic, which has shifted from a tournament style to single game matchups.
