Heading into the season with plenty of hype surrounding St. John’s basketball, fans got their first glimpses of what to expect from the men’s and women’s hoops teams Friday night at Carnesecca Arena, when the University held its 10th annual Tip-Off Event.

The evening opened with the program’s first Alumni Game, with St. John’s alumni like Anthony Mason Jr., and Boo Harvey playing to warm receptions from the crowd. Then, they were introduced to all players from this year’s men’s and women’s teams that will be representing them on the hardwood this winter.
