BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS

No. 12 Red Storm Faces No. 13 Pitt On BIG EAST Tournament Tuesday• Head coach Steve Lavin’s young St. John’s basketball team (13-18, 6-12 BIG EAST), with its

“Fresh Five” starting lineup and its rotation of six fi rst-year players that fi nished tied for 11th in the BIG EAST Conference Standings, begins play on Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the 2012 BIG EAST Championship as the No. 12 seed. The Red Storm meets 13th-seeded Pitt (16-15, 5-13 BIG EAST) for the second time in six days in the opening round matchup. The contest airs nationally on ESPN2 and via ESPN3, with Dave Pasch and Doris Burke calling the action and Andy Katz reporting from the sidelines. The matchup can be heard live on the offi cial radio fl agship of St. John’s Basketball, Bloomberg Radio 1130-AM, and on RedStormSports.com (subscription), with veteran play-by-play announcer John Minko and “The Coach” Tim O’Toole.

• St. John’s “Fresh Five” starting lineup is 5-6 after its 78-62 win over West Virginia (Jan. 25), an 87-81 BIG EAST road win at DePaul (Feb. 1), a 66-63 win over UCLA (Feb. 18), the 79-72 matchup vs. DePaul (Feb. 20) and a 61-58 victory over then-No. 20/18 Notre Dame (Feb. 25). A fi ve freshman starting lineup is believed to be a fi rst for the St. John’s program since 1927-28, when three original “Wonder Five” members Mac Kinsbrunner, Jack “Rip” Gerson and Max Posnack fi rst took the fl oor for legendary St. John’s coach and Naismith Hall of Famer James “Buck” Freeman.

• St. John’s is now 400-268 (.599) all-time at The World’s Most Famous Arena, which has served as a home court for STJ Basketball for more than 77 years. The Red Storm defeated Fordham in its fi rst true home contest at The Garden this season on Dec. 17 as part of the MSG Holiday Festival, in addition to its victory over WVU (Jan. 25), its win over Lavin’s former squad, UCLA (Feb. 18) and its victory over then No. 20/18 Notre Dame (Feb. 25).

• Making its 29th appearance in 2012, the Red Storm owns a 25-25 record all-time in 28 appearances in the BIG EAST Championship. St. John’s has captured three titles — in 1983, the fi rst BIG EAST Championship played at The Garden, and also in 1986 and in 2000.

Storm Tracker• Rated as high as the nation’s No. 38 prospect overall and the

No. 10 small forward by recruiting services, Queens’-own Moe Harkless is a complete basketball player and elite local talent. The 6-8, 208-pound swingman spent his 2010-11 senior season at South Kent School (Conn.). An athletic, rangy shooter with great length on defense, he was the 2009-10 Daily News Queens High School Player of the Year and was a member of the Daily News’ and NY Post’s all-metro teams in 2008-09 and 2009-10. The All-BIG EAST honorable mention selection, All-Rookie Team member and two-time BIG EAST Rookie of the Week is second in the conference and ninth in the nation in freshman scoring at 15.2 points per game, and is tied as the conference’s top rebounding rookie at 8.6 boards per outing. His scoring average ranks 13th among all BIG EAST players, his rebounds per game rate is tied for sixth, his 1.5 blocked shots are tied for seventh and his 1.65 steals and 36.0 minutes per contest average are 10th. His 11 double-doubles rank tied for third in the BIG EAST this season and are tied for 10th among all active BIG EAST players. He recorded six double-doubles in BIG EAST action.

• Rookie guard D’Angelo Harrison, a 6-3, 202-pound athlete from Missouri City, Texas, fi nished his prep tenure rated as high as the nation’s No. 9 shooting guard and No. 40 overall prospect by recruiting services. The two-time all-state selection is renowned for his explosive fi rst step, long-range game and his ability to fi ll up the stat sheet. With his 12th 20-point performance of the season on Feb. 29 at Pitt (21 pts), Harrison — the BIG EAST’s freshman scoring leader who currently ranks third in the nation among rookies at 17.2 ppg — established a new St. John’s freshman scoring record, which currently stands at 532 points and counting. Tied as the BIG EAST’s long-distance leader with 2.45 made 3-point fi eld goals per game (2.72 in league contests, T-1st), he has also established a new STJ mark for 3-pointers made in a single-season, currently with 76 on a fourth-ranked 201 attempts. Harrison averaged 18.5 ppg in league play, third

among all BIG EAST players, with the fi fth-best 3-point fi eld goal percentage in league play (.402). His 78.6 percent clip from the free throw line in league contests ranked 10th and his 1.7 steals tied for ninth. He is averaging 20.1 ppg over the last 12 games while drilling 44.0 percent of his 3-point attempts.

• Junior big man God’sgift Achiuwa, a 6-8, 236-pound bruising athlete with an 87-inch wingspan from Port Harcourt, River States, Nigeria via Erie Community College (N.Y.), is a 2011 fi rst team NJCAA All-America and a two-time JUCO All-America selection overall. He is third on the squad in scoring (9.5 ppg) and his team-best 55.6 percent shooting from the fl oor is fourth among all league players. He went 6-for-6 against Lehigh for 21 points (Nov. 9), 7-for-7 at DePaul (Feb. 1) for 15 points, and recently, 8-of-9 at Pitt (Feb. 29) for 17 points.

• Freshman swingman Sir’Dominic Pointer, a 6-5, 196-pound native of Detroit, Mich., was rated as high as the No. 8 small forward in his class and the No. 24 prospect overall by recruiting services. His 1.8 steals per game across 18 league contests ranked sixth among all BIG EAST players and fi rst among conference rookies.

• A smooth, deft ballhandler ranked as high as the No. 41 shooting guard in his recruiting class, 6-2, 180-pound Chicago native Phil Greene has the ability to get into the lane and pull up, or dish and create for others. A hard-nosed defender, Greene adds length and speed to “Chicago toughness” which gives him the ability to guard any perimeter player. He has averaged 10.1 ppg over the last 12 games of the “Fresh Five Era”, shooting 37.5 percent from 3-point range and dishing 45 assists (3.8 per game) with only 21 turnovers.

• St. John’s received an early Christmas present on Dec. 21 as rookie forward and Top 100 prospect Amir Garrett was declared eligible and joined the squad. Garrett, who was selected by the Cincinnati Reds for his 96 m.p.h. southpaw fastball, is averaging 9.6 ppg over the last 12 contests while shooting 45.1 percent from the fi eld with 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals. He is averaging 12.0 ppg over the last four contests with a career-high 18 in a Queens victory over DePaul (Feb. 20).

St. John’s Red Storm HEAD COACH STEVE LAVIN

Steve LavinHead CoachChapman ‘882nd Season At St. John’s

St. John’s head men’s basketball coach Steve Lavin has offi cially been a New Yorker for less than two years, but in that time, he has taken the Big Apple by storm, and has given new meaning to the moniker “the city that never sleeps.” Lavin — whose eight-year head coaching record includes seven NCAA Tournament appearances, fi ve trips to the NCAA Round of 16 and seven seasons of 21 wins or more — became the 19th head men’s basketball coach in St. John’s 102-plus years of storied hardwood tradition on March 30, 2010. Trading in his broadcaster’s microphone for the whistle and clipboard once again after seven years as one of ESPN’s premier college basketball analysts, Lavin spent his fi rst year in the Empire State revitalizing the foremost college basketball program in the city that has called the game its own for more than a century. Working strategically, Lavin has breathed new life into St. John’s proud program. Lavin first assembled an elite and specialized basketball staff that is among the NCAA’s finest, comprised of individuals with NBA coaching experience, a history of national and

city championships and roots that have sprung up from each corner of New York City’s rich basketball culture and extend not only across the nation, but across the globe. A diligent and focused recruiter with a blue-collar work ethic, and two No. 1 recruiting classes and one No. 2 class to his credit, Lavin arrived in New York and was faced with the daunting task of fi lling 10 available scholarships for 2011-12. Shining through a situation unprecedented in the history of contemporary college basketball – he and his staff met the challenge with passion and precision, and landed the consensus No. 3 recruiting class in the nation for 2011-12, a group that ranks among the most-heralded in school history. The fi rst year of The Lavin Era included a 21-12 overall record, marking St. John’s most wins since the 2002-03 season, with six Top 25 victories, four over Top 10 opponents and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the fi rst time since 2002. The USBWA District II Coach of the Year, Lavin transformed a team that fi nished in 13th place in the BIG EAST Conference in 2009-10 at 6-12 to a squad that tied for third in 2010-11 at 12-6 –only twice before has a jump of such magnitude occurred in BIG EAST Conference history. The Red Storm fi nished its season ranked 18th in the Associated Press Top 25, marking the fi rst time it qualifi ed for the postseason as a ranked team since 2000-01. The Red Storm, which posted a 7-1 record in eight regular season games at Madison Square Garden (capacity: 19,353) and a 5-2 record on campus at Carnesecca Arena (capacity: 5,602) saw its home attendance climb by 38.1 percent, marking the fourth-largest increase in NCAA Division I men’s basketball.

THE LAVIN FILE

DID YOU KNOW STEVE LAVIN... ?

During Lavin’s tenure as the head coach at UCLA, he was one of only two coaches in the country, along with Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, to lead his team to fi ve NCAA regional semifi nal games (Sweet 16s) in six years (`02, ‘01, ‘00, ‘98, ‘97). As UCLA’s head coach, his career record in the fi rst two rounds of the NCAA Tournament was 10-1. Lavin’s winning percentage (90.9 percent) in the fi rst two rounds of the tournament is second only to Dean Smith in NCAA Tournament history. In his inaugural season as head coach, Lavin directed the Bruins to the 1997 Pac-10 Championship and the NCAA Regional Final (Elite Eight). In 2001, after the Bruins fi nished 23-9, Lavin was honored as the Pac-10 Coach of the Year. He is the only head coach in NCAA men’s basketball history to lead his team to victory over the No. 1 team in the country in four consecutive collegiate seasons (Arizona ‘03, Kansas ‘02, Stanford ‘01, Stanford ‘00). During his time as the head coach or as an assistant at both Purdue and UCLA, Lavin’s teams qualifi ed for 13 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances (1989-2002). Lavin was an assistant coach on the Bruins’ 1995 national championship team that completed the season with a 32-1 record. As the head coach at UCLA, Lavin recruited and signed the No. 1 rated recruiting class in the country in both 1998 and 2001. He totaled seven McDonald’s High School All-Americans during his tenure. At least one of his former UCLA players or recruits was selected in the NBA draft for a run of 10 straight years (1997-2006). As a result, the Bruins own the longest national streak of any college or university for consecutive years with a NBA draft pick. Seven of Lavin’s former Bruin recruits or players are currently members of NBA teams, including Trevor Ariza (New Orleans Hornets), Baron Davis (New York Knicks) and Jason Kapono (L.A. Lakers). Lavin is frequently an invited keynote speaker throughout the country for business, community and collegiate events. He addresses a wide range of topics including effective communication, motivation, management, recruiting, leadership, and naturally, college basketball. On Aug. 17, 2007, Lavin was married to Mary Ann Jarou, a professional actress who has made television series appearances on “How I Met Your Mother,” “General Hospital,” “Entourage,” “Brothers and Sisters,” “Secret Girlfriend,” and appropriately, “King of Queens.” Lavin’s father, Cap Lavin, was inducted into the San Francisco Prep Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992 and is a 1997 honoree of the University of San Francisco Hall of Fame. Cap Lavin was a three-time (1946-48) all-city performer at St. Ignatius High School, and went on to earn three varsity letters (1950-52) and serve as the basketball team’s captain at the University of San Francisco. While at San Francisco, Cap Lavin played for two Naismith Hall of Fame coaches, Pete Newell (1949-50) and Phil Woolpert (1950-52). A collegiate guard, Newell has described Cap Lavin as a “ballhandler way ahead of his time, one of the great dribblers and passers in the game.”

• Head coach Steve Lavin has assembled an elite and specialized coaching staff that ranks among the fi nest in the country. With three former NBA assistants intermingled with a number of native New Yorkers, St. John’s is poised to reap the benefi ts of their decades of experience for years to come.

THE ST. JOHN’S BASKETBALL STAFF: ELITE AND SPECIALIZED

• Lavin On Dunlap: “I have known Mike Dunlap since I was a student-athlete at Chapman University, and over the past 26 years he has developed into one of the game’s most-respected teachers. Mike is a sound tactician with a deep understanding of the game and brings a wealth of experience to our staff. The addition of Coach Dunlap gives our program one of the most diverse and specialized coaching staffs in college basketball.”

• Lavin On Chiles: “Tony is as talented, capable and respected as any assistant coach in the country. After delving through all the information during the search process for my staff, it became clear that Coach Chiles would be a perfect fi rst choice as an assistant coach.”

• Lavin On Hines: “Rico is a talented, natural-born teacher and coach with a relentless work ethic. He is one of the true rising stars in the coaching profession. His talents in on-court player skill development and his reach as a north-to-south, coast-to-coast recruiter are among the defi nite benefi ts he brings to our staff at St. John’s.”

• Lavin On Hicks: “When I came to St. John’s as head coach, one of my objectives was to put together a staff that has a strong understanding of New York City and the basketball landscape of the greater metropolitan area. Moe Hicks has a great sense for New York and was one of the city’s most accomplished coaches. Moe developed both leadership and administrative skills while guiding one of the most successful high school programs in the country. We are pleased to have Moe Hicks join our St. John’s basketball family.”

• Lavin On Keady: “Coach Keady’s main responsibility with our basketball program will be to observe practices, contribute in our coaching staff meetings and practice planning. I wanted that grandfather presence with our team. Coach Keady has the experience, energy and a great deal of perspective to offer us. He was the most infl uential person in developing my coaching philosophy. The timing and the fi t just seemed right for us here.”

• Lavin On Wrobel: “In my 24-year association with the world of college basketball, Derrick would have to rank among the most talented, diligent and passionate individuals I have come across. His vision, combined with his exceptional organizational skills, are critical components as we continue to move the St. John’s basketball program forward.”

Honoring Donald Taffner: “DT”• During the 2011-12 season, both the STJ men’s and women’s basketball teams will

be wearing black patches with “DT” sewn on, in memory of Donald Taffner, an alum and generous benefactor and namesake of the basketball programs’ practice facility.

• Donald, a 1953 graduate of St. John’s College, and his late wife, Eleanor, shared a passion for St. John’s athletics — a passion that linked with the couple’s great generosity, enabled the construction of the Taffner Field House, which serves as a home for the St. John’s men’s and women’s basketball teams and supports Campus Recreation. Last season, the teams wore an “ET” patch in honor and memory of Eleanor, who passed away almost exactly a year before her husband.

STJ On TV, Radio• St. John’s Athletics announced in December that all 33 St. John’s home and road games

– including the Red Storm’s preseason exhibition contests – will have a broadcast home during the 2011-12 season. For the fi rst time since 1997-98, every St. John’s regular-season men’s basketball game will receive broadcast coverage, and for the fi rst time ever, every Red Storm exhibition contest will be aired as well for 100 percent coverage throughout the season.

• Including the exhibition contests, the Red Storm will appear in 19 nationally-televised games during the regular season, including a February matchup with UCLA on CBS, and 18 additional games on the ESPN family of national networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3). In addition, STJ will make 13 appearances on New York regional sports networks SportsNet New York (\: eight) and the Madison Square Garden Network (MSG: fi ve).

• At least fi ve contests will be produced on campus for broadcast by the newly-created St. John’s Television Network (STJ-TV). Tony Luftman, “The Voice of STJ-TV,” will bring fans all of the action from courtside as former St. John’s standout Tarik Turner provides fans with analysis of the Red Storm. Full STJ-TV productions have already been featured on SNY (15 million viewers) and ESPN3 (70 million viewers), and highlights from STJ-TV broadcasts have run and contributed to Top Plays on ESPN’s SportsCenter (125 million viewers).

• For the fourth-straight season, St. John’s men’s basketball games will be carried on the Red Storm’s powerful fl agship station, Bloomberg Radio 1130-AM. Expert commentary will be provided by veteran broadcaster John Minko and for the fi rst time Tim O’Toole, a current ESPN analyst, former Fairfi eld bench boss and BIG EAST assistant. Through St. John’s multimedia rightsholder IMG College, SiriusXM will also broadcast live all games vs. BIG EAST Conference foes and any ranked hardwood matchups.

RED STORMIn The Community

The Red Storm basketball team and head coach Steve Lavin are active members of the St. John’s University and greater New York City community. The men’s basketball team is involved in extensive charity, fundraising and public speaking events throughout the year, particularly in the offseason. Lavin has been involved with numerous charities throughout his coaching career, including Coaches vs. Cancer, City of Hope, the Jimmy V Foundation, the USO and the Special Olympics. Since arriving at St. John’s, Lavin and wife Mary Jarou have adopted the Bread & Life Soup Kitchen in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Joined in an October ceremony with Brooklyn-born redshirt senior Rob Thomas, Steve Starker of BTIG Brokerage and Anthony Butler, Executive Director of St. John’s Bread & Life, the Lavins have made a $35,000, multi-year pledge to aid New York City’s homeless and hungry. St. John’s men’s basketball players work with University Campus Ministry in outreach efforts that include the St. Nicholas of Tolentine shelter, Habitat for Humanity, the St. John’s Bread and Life Soup Kitchen and other organizations. At Thanksgiving time, the Red Storm squad, coaching staff and NBC-4’s Bruce Beck and his family spend a day at the St. John’s Bread and Life Soup Kitchen. Donning aprons and rubber gloves, the coaches and student-athletes provide turkey dinners to thousands of homeless and underprivileged Brooklyn residents. St. John’s held its 10th-annual University Service Day on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011, and Red Storm athletes, coaches and athletics department personnel were out in full force to lend a hand. The men’s and women’s basketball teams hosted St. John’s fi rst-annual “Dribble For The Cure,” partnering with the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and raising more than $21,000 to aid research and awareness efforts for pediatric cancer in the New York area.

LAVIN’S NBA PEDIGREE“A Decade Of Draft Picks: 1997-2006”

• A total of 13 players signed or coached by Lavin have become NBA draft choices. Baron Davis, a 1999 lottery pick, is a two-time NBA All-Star who played in his 12th season in 2010-11. Earl Watson, a 2001 draft choice, is now an 11-year NBA veteran. Trevor Ariza was Lavin’s last signee during his UCLA tenure but did not have the opportunity to play under him.

RED STORMWhat They’re Saying

St. John’s In The BIG EAST Championship Tournament• The Red Storm makes its 29th all-time appearance in the BIG EAST Tournament in 2012,

and its fi fth in six seasons. A charter member of the BIG EAST Conference, St. John’s appeared in the fi rst 24 conference tournaments, from 1980-2003.

• St. John’s absence from the BIG EAST Tournament in 2005 was due to a self-imposed postseason ban, and with a 1-15 league record in 2004, a 5-11 conference mark in 2006 and a 5-13 slate in 2008, the team failed to qualify for the league championship. The 2006-07 Red Storm posted a 16-14 overall record and a 7-9 league mark to qualify for the tournament as the No. 11 seed, falling to sixth-seeded Marquette, 76-67. Each league team began participation in the championship affair beginning in 2009.

• The Red Storm own a 25-25 record all-time in 28 appearances in the event. With a bye into the second round in 2011, a 65-63 win over Rutgers advanced St. John’s to its 20th all-time quarterfi nals appearance. St. John’s prior quarterfi nals came in 2003.

• St. John’s has reached the semifi nals 11 times, with its last semis appearance coming en route to the tournament title in 2000.

• The Red Storm has made the championship game fi ve times: 2000 (champions), 1999, 1986 (champions), 1985 and 1983 (champions).

BIG EAST Tournament Champions In 1983, 1986, 2000• 1983 — The 1982-83 season was fi lled with superlative accomplishments. Led by head

coach Lou Carnesecca, the Redmen marched to a record-breaking season, including the fi rst-ever BIG EAST Tournament Championship for St. John’s in the fi rst BIG EAST title event played at Madison Square Garden. In the BIG EAST Tournament, St. John’s beat Pittsburgh in the fi rst round, and then topped Villanova in the semifi nals. The championship game saw Chris Mullin score 24 points in an 85-77 win over Boston College.

• 1986 — A year after a trip to the program’s second-ever appearance in the NCAA Final Four, if anyone was searching for “The Truth,” they found it. In just his second season at St. John’s, Walter “The Truth” Berry earned national player of the year honors — the second straight year a St. John’s player had done so, as Mullin took the award during the 1984-85 campaign – and led the team to a 31-5 record and the 1986 BIG EAST Tournament Championship. And while Berry was the leader of the team, it was Ron Rowan who came through in the Redmen’s biggest moment, sinking a 14-foot baseline jumper with eight seconds left to give St. John’s its fi rst lead of the game at 70-69, in a win over Syracuse in the BIG EAST Championship. Berry blocked Dwayne “Pearl” Washington’s shot at the buzzer as St. John’s won the second of its three BIG EAST Tournament titles.

• 2000 — The night of March 11, 2000, was not just any night for the St. John’s men’s basketball team. The Red Storm’s 80-70 win over Connecticut at Madison Square Garden gave the team its fi rst BIG EAST Tournament Championship since 1986, but it was also the fi tting end to a hectic season. St. John’s used a late run to beat Villanova in the opener and then came a heated rivalry-game with Miami. In a tight contest, sophomore forward Anthony Glover — who had missed his previous fi ve attempts — hit two free throws with 2.2 seconds left to give St. John’s a 58-57 win over the Hurricanes and a spot in the championship game. In a rematch of the previous year’s championship game, Marvis “Bootsy” Thornton — who earned tournament MVP honors — scored 22 points to lead four players in double fi gures in an 80-70 win over UConn.

From “Wonder Five” To “Fresh Five” • St. John’s “Fresh Five” starting lineup of Phil Greene, D’Angelo Harrison, Moe Harkless,

Sir’Dominic Pointer and Amir Garrett in 11 of the last 12 games is believed to be a fi rst for the program since 1927-28. That season, three original “Wonder Five” members Mac Kinsbrunner, Jack “Rip” Gerson and Max Posnack fi rst took the fl oor for legendary St. John’s coach and Naismith Hall of Famer James “Buck” Freeman.

• The “Wonder Five” never won a national championship in their two seasons together but in that time they did manage to make St. John’s the darling of New York fans and bring the Redmen a national following.

• Freeman went from St. John’s player to St. John’s coach over the summer of 1927 and the sport would never be the same. His fi rst team featured freshmen Kinsbrunner, Gerson and Posnack with two other fi rst-year players as starters. The team played a style that featured constant ball movement, including having the pivot touch it, and new plays such as the give-and-go. The Redmen won their fi rst eight games that season and fi nished 18-4. The freshman class would lose that many games over the next three seasons, going 23-2, 23-1 and 21-1.

“Steve was brought up in a basketball family and basketball is a way of life for him. He is an outstanding coach. He just has a good feel for the game because he was brought up in the game. It is nice to see him back on the sidelines where he belongs. He will do an excellent job energizing the St. John’s fan base and leading the program for years to come.”— Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University

“I wish Coach Lav nothing but the best. He’s always been so supportive of his former players, and I know he truly cares about anyone that plays for him, both personally and professionally. I can easily say I think his new team will instantly take to his personality and passion for the game. He has had time since he last coached to build his game plan for his style. I love Coach Lav and St. John’s is a great fi t for him. I am totally on board to support him and I think it’s great for college basketball to have him on the sidelines again.”— Baron Davis, L.A. Clippers

“I always enjoyed the competition with Steve when UCLA, Stanford and Arizona were battling for the top spot in the Pac-10. I followed him as an analyst and always thought he did a great job, but I think when coaching is in your blood, you have to go back to it. It surprised me a little that he ended up on the East Coast, but he is an excellent national recruiter, and likes an uptempo game, so I knew that St. John’s would become a viable destination for New York City recruits, and other young basketball players throughout the nation. St. John’s alums are going to be very happy in no time.”— Lute Olson, Arizona

“I heard that he was coming back and I thought ‘wow.’ He could really have an impact. The kids are going to love playing for him. They’re going to trust him. And once they have your trust, the sky is the limit. They’ll run through walls. It’s going to be fun to watch. He’s a great communicator. Parents will love him. Kids will trust him. As a recruiter he can be compared to none. This guy got Baron Davis and myself to commit fi ve minutes apart from each other – a pair of point guards in the same class. He sold us on unity. He knows we all get better playing against each other at practice. It was a healthy competitive atmosphere. The fi rst year with Coach Lav is going to be fun to watch. The buzz is going and once that starts going in New York City, you never know.”— Earl Watson, Utah Jazz

“The game has changed at St. John’s. No recruit is considered out of the Red Storm’s reach. No national power is not worth butting heads with.” — New York Post

2011-12 BASKETBALL


RED STORMLavin: Is it the shoes?

• Allie Shuckman joined the team in 1929-30. Matty Begovich started as a freshman the season after that and the Wonder Five was complete: Kinsbrunner — an amazing dribbler, Gerson — the spark plug on offense and defense, Schuckman — the shooter, Begovich — the pivot, and Posnack — the captain and the team’s best passer.

• They captured New York’s imagination as a team of neighborhood kids playing basketball a different way, a fun way, a successful way. Defense was also a key for Freeman’s team and playing keep away was its most effective tactic as the Redmen often held teams without a fi eld goal for long periods of time.

• The team outgrew the buildings it played in and it was the Wonder Five who moved college basketball into the big arenas, specifi cally Madison Square Garden where a special charity game between St. John’s and CCNY was arranged. The Redmen beat the Beavers 17-9, their second win over CCNY that season.

• The Wonder Five made its last appearance on March 4, 1931, and seniors Gerson, Kinsbrunner and Posnack went out with a 30-16 victory over Manhattan. Posnack was considered by many to be the best player college basketball had seen to that time and there was almost unanimous consent that the Wonder Five was the best team to have ever taken the court.

Harkless, Harrison Earn BIG EAST, All-Rookie Honors• St. John’s freshman swingman Moe Harkless was named a 2011-12 All-BIG EAST

honorable mention selection and Harkless and classmate D’Angelo Harrison were tabbed to the 2011-12 All-Rookie team as voted upon by the league’s coaches and announced by the conference on March 3.

• The two BIG EAST All-Rookie citations mark the fi rst time a pair of St. John’s freshmen were honored since Zendon Hamilton and Felipe Lopez were named to the BIG EAST All-Rookie team in 1995. St. John’s only other rookie tandem to be honored in this way was Mark Jackson and Willie Glass in 1984.

• The current Red Storm duo are both freshman All-America candidates and are the league favorites for the 2011-12 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year Award, which will be announced by the conference on Tuesday afternoon.

• The honors are the latest in a series for St. John’s heralded freshman class. On Jan. 30 and Feb. 27, Harkless received BIG EAST Rookie of the Week honors after being tabbed to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for the week of Dec. 26-Jan. 1. On Jan. 9, Harrison became the fi rst St. John’s player to be named BIG EAST Rookie of the Week since guard/forward Dexter Gray on Nov. 22, 2004. He was also named to the league’s honor roll on Feb. 6.

“Three-Angelo” Harrison Among STJ Rookie Scoring Leaders• After blazing past Erick Barkley’s 13-year-old freshman scoring record of 500 points,

guard D’Angelo Harrison is the Red Storm’s outright leader in freshman scoring with 532 points and counting.

• The sharpshooter’s mark now ranks in front of Barkley (500 pts., 1998-99), Felipe Lopez (498 pts., 1994-95), Hall of Famer Chris Mullin (498 pts., 1981-82) and Omar Cook (445 pts., 2000-01).

• Harrison is averaging 17.2 points per game entering the BIG EAST Championship, ranking him second behind only Lopez (17.8 ppg), St. John’s third all-time scoring leader, in the category amongst St. John’s freshmen.

• Harrison’s per game rate as a freshman ranks in front of Mullin (16.6 ppg), the program’s all-time scoring leader, Cook (15.3 ppg) and Barkley (13.5 ppg).

• Harrison finished tied for the BIG EAST lead with 2.45 made strikes from long-distance per game, and 2.72 made 3s per conference contest. He has also established a new St. John’s mark for 3-pointers made in a single-season, currently with 76 on a fourth-ranked 201 attempts.

• St. John’s head coach Steve Lavin and his staff have been sans ties, and wearing their dazzling white Nike Air Force Ones, since 2011 Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend, and the Red Storm’s 93-78 victory over then No. 3/3 Duke on Jan. 30, 2011.

• St. John’s is 23-22 since abandoning neckwear and dress shoes in favor of the “Nike uptowns,” including the black versions on 2011 Senior night.

• Each year during Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend basketball coaches nationwide wear sneakers with their suits to demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society. Basketball fans are encouraged to also wear sneakers to games that weekend to show their support. Coaches vs. Cancer is a collaborative initiative of the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) that empowers coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fi ght against cancer.

• Since joining St. John’s in late March of 2010, head coach Steve Lavin has helped raise more than $1,000,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer.

• St. John’s sneakers have certainly generated awareness for the cause, but Lavin’s choice to continue the trend is mainly about comfort on the sidelines.

• “It’s so basic but there isn’t anything more essential than breath and oxygen, and so I thought my decision making and clarity and everything was at a higher level when I didn’t have the tie on, and obviously I’d never coached a game without a tie on until that Duke basketball game. So it’s not the record or good luck, but I think our staff agrees we’re much more comfortable in terms of breathing and then the shoes allow you to move a little better on the sideline. If you slip you’re not going to fall on your fanny with your Florsheims,” said Lavin.St. John’s Freshman Scoring Leaders (Points)

RED STORMNike Hyper Elite Uniforms

Moe Boards Than Most Freshmen• Freshman swingman Moe Harkless pulled down 267 rebounds in the regular season, the

most by a freshman since St. John’s all-time most-prolifi c rebounder, George Johnson, notched a freshman record 285 boards in 1974-75. Johnson fi nished his career as the Red Storm’s all-time leader in rebounds with 1,240.

• Overall, Harkless’ 267 boards rank 23rd on the single-season rebounding charts but his total is listed third in the last 20 years, behind only Zendon Hamilton, who registered 277 boards in both 1995-96 and 1997-98.

• Harkless is averaging 8.6 rebounds per game entering the BIG EAST Championship, ranking him second behind only Johnson in the category amongst St. John’s freshmen. Johnson averaged 9.5 rebounds as a freshman.

• Harkless’ per game average as a freshman ranks in front of St. John’s rebounding greats Tyrone Grant (7.1 rpg, 1995-96), Robert Werdann (6.6 rpg, 1988-89) and Malik Sealy (6.4 rpg, 1988-89).

St. John’s Freshmen Leading The Way• STJ freshmen are tearing it up among the rookie leaders in the BIG EAST conference.• D’Angelo Harrison leads all rookies in scoring (17.2), while Moe Harkless is second (15.2) and Phil

Greene is tied for 15th (7.8). In BIG EAST games, Harrison was fi rst (18.5), Harkless second (15 .3 ) , and Greene 13th (8.6).

• Harkless is tied for the lead amongst BIG EAST freshman in rebounding (8.6), while Sir’Dominic Pointer is eighth (4.7), Amir Garrett is 11th (4.2) and Harrison is 14th (3.7). In conference games, Harkless tied for second (8.5), Pointer seventh (4.7), Garrett ninth (4.4) and Harrison 12th (3.3).

• From behind the arc, Harrison is second in 3-point fi eld goal percentage (.378) among freshmen with at least 150 attempts.

• Greene is fi fth among BIG EAST rookies in assists (3.0), while Harrison is ninth (2.1) and Pointer is 14th (1.5). In league contests, Greene is fourth (3.7), Harrison eighth (2.5) and Pointer is tied for 11th (2.0)

• All fi ve St. John’s freshmen are ranked among the top 10 freshmen in steals with Harkless fi rst (1.6), Harrison third (1.5), Pointer fourth (1.4), Garrett seventh (1.3) and Greene tied for eighth (1.2). During conference tilts, four of the Red Storm’s fi ve freshmen are ranked in the top three with Pointer leading all freshmen (1.8), Harrison is second (1.6) and Garrett and Harkless are tied for third (1.4). Greene is tied for eighth (1.2).

• Harkless is third in blocks among rookies (1.4) and Pointer ranks seventh (0.8). In conference play, Harkless is second (1.3) and Pointer fi fth (1.0).

• Harrison ranks sixth in free throw percentage (.800) and is second among freshmen with at least 100 attempts from the charity stripe.

• In unoffi cial statistics, Pointer is leading all freshmen in ESPN SportsCenter Top-10 highlights.

• The St. John’s men’s basketball team introduced the latest system of dress from Nike for college basketball on Feb. 11, 2010. St. John’s was one of eight teams in college hoops that debuted the Nike Hyper Elite uniforms in February, which celebrate the rich spirit, tradition and culture of the nation’s top basketball programs.

• The Nike Hyper Elite uniform, which is 70 percent lighter than a traditional elite level basketball uniform, is now worn by St. John’s, Miami (Fla.), Syracuse, Texas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Gonzaga and Michigan State.

• Paying tribute to the rich history of St. John’s basketball, Nike designers worked with the University to create a distinctive look for the Red Storm. Inspired in part by Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca, the St. John’s jerseys feature a Chevron design to represent Carnesecca’s “lucky” sweater. Elements of the iconic ceiling of Madison Square Garden, where Carnesecca coached some of the programs most memorable games, are also included in the design.

• In addition, fi ve stripes honor the “Wonder Five” who helped lead the program to prominence. Clouds and lightning reference St. John’s nickname, “Red Storm,” and the University’s seal and its year of establishment, 1870, help complete the design.

• St. John’s new uniforms incorporate several Nike innovations that were originally introduced in Beijing. The Hyper Elite uniforms take advantage of Nike Aerographics - an engineered mesh providing zoned cooling that reduces up to half the yarn, making the uniforms more lightweight and breathable.

• Nike made specifi c adjustments to the jersey, eliminating 13 inches of material, while the use of Dri-FIT woven fabric in the short reduced its weight to six ounces; 66 percent lighter than a traditional elite level Nike basketball short. Overall, the Nike Hyper Elite uniform is a striking 70 percent lighter than the traditional basketball uniform.

• Dri-FIT technical fabric is a moisture-wicking material that provides increased comfort and thermo regulation to help enable players to perform at their optimal level on the court. The Nike Hyper Elite uniform also dries 30 percent faster compared to a standard professional level uniform when wet.

• Completing the new system of dress for St. John’s is Nike Pro Combat, an ergonomically designed base layer that provides basketball-specific protective padding without restricting mobility on the court.

Harkless Named BIG EAST Rookie Of The Week (Feb. 27, Jan. 31)• BIG EAST Conference Rookie of the Year and freshman All-America candidate Moe Harkless

continues to emerge as one of the top newcomers in the league, and across the nation. He has twice been named BIG EAST Rookie of the Week, on Feb. 27 and Jan. 31.

• Feb. 27 — Harkless averaged 18.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, nearly a double-double for the week, in helping St. John’s to a 2-0 slate which featured the Feb. 25 61-58 victory at The Garden over then-No. 20/18 Notre Dame, and a 79-72 win over DePaul on Feb. 20. Playing the full 80 minutes across the two games, he shot 56.0 percent from the fi eld to go along with three blocks and three steals.

• Jan. 31 — Harkless averaged 26.5 points per game and 13.0 rebounds per outing across a pair of contests, connecting at a 58.5 percent clip from the fl oor and adding three blocks and two steals. In St. John’s 78-62 victory over rv/rv West Virginia on Jan. 25, at Madison Square Garden, Harkless totaled 23 points and 13 rebounds. Playing an out-

www. sports.com

of-conference nationally-televised contest at No. 8/6 Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium on Jan. 28, Harkless made a huge statement on the national stage with 30 points on a 13-of-21 performance from the fi eld, to go along with 13 rebounds and one steal.

• In recording the remarkable performance at Duke, Harkless became:• The fi rst player to score 30 points against Duke this season.• The fi rst player to score 30 points against Duke since March 24, 2011, when Derrick

Williams scored 32 for Arizona in the NCAA Sweet 16.• The fi rst player to score 30 against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium since Feb. 7,

2009, when Jack McClinton scored 34 for Miami.• The fi rst freshman to score 30 against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium since Feb. 14,

1996, when Courtney Alexander scored 30 for Virginia.• The fi rst St. John’s player ever to score 30 points at Cameron Indoor Stadium, besting

the previous high of 22 scored by Bootsy Thornton on Feb. 26, 2000.• The fi rst St. John’s player to score 30 points against Duke since Jan. 24, 1999, when

Bootsy Thornton scored 40 at MSG.

Harrison Named BIG EAST Rookie Of The Week (Jan. 9)• St. John’s freshman guard D’Angelo Harrison was named the BIG EAST Rookie of the

Week, announced on Jan. 9 by the conference. Harrison averaged 21.0 points and 7.5 rebounds that week to lead the Red Storm to a 1-1 mark in conference action.

• In receiving the honor, Harrison became the fi rst St. John’s player to be named Rookie of the Week since forward Dexter Gray on Nov. 22, 2004.

• During the two-game stretch, Harrison averaged 39.5 minutes per game and played a vital role in the Red Storm’s fi rst road win of the season, a 57-55 victory at Cincinnati (Jan. 7). The freshman combo guard was able to use scoring prowess to connect on 35.7 percent of his shots from long range and 78.6 of his free throws.

• As St. John’s grabbed its fi rst BIG EAST road victory, and fi rst win away from home all year in the victory at Cincinnati, Harrison provided an offensive spark, scoring a team-high 18 points with three 3-pointers and a 5-of-7 afternoon from the free throw line. Harrison also pulled down seven rebounds, dished two assists and registered a block in snapping the Bearcats’ seven-game winning streak. One of his biggest contributions came on the fi nal play of the game, as his driving ability created space for a fl oater which teammate Moe Harkless was able to tip in at the buzzer.

• In the Red Storm’s 73-58 loss to Louisville on Tuesday, Jan. 3, Harrison was a bright spot on a poor shooting night from the Johnnies. While St. John’s connected on just 14.3 percent of its shots in the fi rst half, and 28.1 percent for the game, Harrison posted his fourth 20-plus point performance of the year, dropping 24 points on 8-of-18 fi eld goals, including two 3-pointers and 6-of-7 shots from the charity stripe. In addition to his scoring, Harrison dished out three assists with just one turnover, while grabbing three steals and pulling down a team-high eight boards.

• Harrison was also named to the BIG EAST Honor Roll on Feb. 6 after leading the Red Storm to a road victory over DePaul (Feb. 1) and netting 23 vs. then No. 2/2 Syracuse (Feb. 4).

Harkless Scores 32 In BIG EAST Debut, Sets New Conference Record• Rookie swingman Moe Harkless scored 32 points — now the most ever by a freshman

making his BIG EAST debut after breaking the 30-point mark shared by Allen Iverson (Georgetown, 1 9 9 4 ) a n d Tr o y M u r p h y ( N o t r e Dame, 1998) — in the 24-point conference-o p e n i n g v i c t o r y over Providence on Tuesday, Dec. 27.

• Harkless went 14-of-17 from the fi eld, w a s 2 - o f - 3 f r o m long-distance, had 13 rebounds for his fourth double-double in a fi ve-game span, dished four assists, grabbed four steals, swatted two shots and turned the ball over only once in the remarkable performance.



“I’m glad to see Coach Lav back in coaching. With his basketball background and love for the game, I knew he couldn’t be gone long. He’s a perfect fi t for St. John’s and know he will be very successful there.” — Jason Kapono, L.A. Lakers

“One thing you have to admire about Lavin: He sees the big picture and knows how to work the room. He can sell the glamour of Manhattan and the bright lights of Broadway while at the same time understanding the true miracle of St. John’s as evidenced by his attendance at the Old Timers dinner at Bishop Ford in Brooklyn to get to know the people who established the great basketball tradition in our city.”— Dick Weiss, New York Daily News

“He’s pretty special to me. If I could repay him for helping me, that would be great. It’s a great opportunity to do something really special. He is really into the game and he is really a players’ coach. He is very focused on what he is doing at the moment.”— Gene Keady, Purdue University

“I’m pleased that Steve Lavin has decided to rejoin us in the coaching ranks. He’s an outstanding coach and a great friend. He was good for the game during his time as an analyst, serving as an advocate for college basketball. But I expect he’ll be even better for the game as head coach at St. John’s. Combine his previous coaching experience and his time away from coaching to gain perspective, and I have no doubt he’ll return St. John’s to national prominence.”— Tom Izzo, Michigan State University

“So Lavin’s plan is to work. And work. He terms his seven-year broadcasting career with ESPN a “sabbatical” that he wisely used to pick up wisdom and strategy from all the great coaches he got to drop in on before working games. Lavin is a coach fi rst, all right.”— Johnette Howard, ESPNNewYork.com

“Other coaches have brought their teams to the No. 1 ranking this year, into the Top 10 in the country. Lavin has brought St. John’s back from irrelevance, in the BIG EAST and in a big basketball place, the Garden, that had always been such a grand stage for them, all the way through Looie Carnesecca and Joe Lapchick and back to Frank McGuire of Greenwich Village. You tell me who has done more than that this season in college basketball.”— Mike Lupica, New York Daily News

• The 32 points were the most scored by a Red Storm player since Dwight Hardy scored 34 points in an 81-68 win at Villanova on Feb. 26, 2011.

• The 32-point performance is tied for the fi fth-best single-game total by any BIG EAST player in the 2011-12 season.

• For his efforts, Harkless garnered national Player of the Night awards on multiple college basketball websites and blogs, including College Hoops Daily and The Arena Pulse, and a spot on the BIG EAST Conference’s Weekly Honor Roll (Jan. 2).

Jamal Branch Joins Red Storm Basketball Program• Former Texas A&M point guard and Class of 2011 Top 50 prospect Jamal Branch offi cially

joined the St. John’s men’s basketball team on Monday, Jan. 16, as announced by Red Storm head coach Steve Lavin. Branch, who was rated as high as the No. 8 point guard from last year’s recruiting class, is able to begin practice with the Red Storm squad immediately. Due to NCAA transfer rules, he will not be eligible for game participation and team travel until December of 2012.

• “Jamal is an elite college player and a welcome addition to our basketball family. His skill, length, and quickness will give us backcourt depth for the 2012-13 season,” said Lavin. “Point guard play is a critical element to success in the BIG EAST Conference and Jamal will be a valuable asset as we continue to elevate our basketball program.”

• “I chose St. John’s because I think it’s a perfect fi t for me,” said Branch. “They have a great coaching staff who I feel can help me a lot with my game. Those guys are like teachers in a classroom, but teachers of the game. They know so much about the game. We have a really great team and I think we could compete with anyone in the future.”

• Branch played in 11 games for the Aggies in the fall of 2011, averaging 4.2 points, 2.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game. He fi red at a 41.7 percent clip from the fi eld and a 33.3 percent rate from beyond the arc, while dealing 28 assists with 21 total turnovers (1.3 ratio). He dealt a career-high six assists in his collegiate debut vs. Liberty (Nov. 9) and netted a career-high 10 points vs. Mississippi State during the 2K Sports Classic Benefi ting Coaches vs. Cancer at Madison Square Garden (Nov. 17). Playing against St. John’s in the 2K Sports Classic event on Nov. 18, he scored seven points with fi ve rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes.

• Branch was named the best high school defender in the Class of 2011 by Scout.com and was rated as high as the No. 47 overall prospect and No. 8 point guard, nationally. He joins teammates Moe Harkless, D’Angelo Harrison, Sir’Dominic Pointer and Amir Garrett in giving St. John’s fi ve member of the 2011 ESPNU 100. Branch and Harrison are friends from being summer basketball competitors in Texas.

• Branch was born in Kansas City, Mo., before moving to the state of Texas for his high school years. He played two years at Atascocita High School in Humble, Texas, before spending his fi nal two seasons at Grace Preparatory Academy in Arlington. During his high school career, he earned four letters in basketball and two in football. Branch was the district’s most valuable player, an all-state selection and a fi nalist for Mr. Basketball in the state of Texas. He averaged 16.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in leading Grace Prep to the state championship as a senior in 2010-11. The second team all-area selection by The Dallas Morning News scored a career-high 48 points against Houston Yates as a senior. He played summer basketball for Team Texas, Houston Hoops and the Houston Swoosh.

Assistant Coach Mike Dunlap• Steve Lavin’s elite and formidable basketball staff is anchored by veteran mentor Mike

Dunlap, who has built a reputation as one of professional and college basketball’s leading strategists and on-court instructors.

• As part of Lavin’s staff in 2010-11, Dunlap helped the Johnnies return to the NCAA Tournament for the 27th time in program history – and for the fi rst time following a nine-year hiatus. In addition, St. John’s catapulted back into the national rankings for the fi rst time in 10 seasons, climbing as high as No. 15 in the country.

• Dunlap, 54, joined the St. John’s basketball family in 2010-11 after serving as the associate head coach on Pac-10 staffs during the previous two seasons. Arizona went 21-14 in 2008-09, advancing to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 before ending the season with a loss to top-seeded Louisville in the NCAA Midwest Regional Semifi nal game. Dunlap joined Oregon’s staff in 2009-10, with the Ducks posting a 16-16 record.

• Prior to his appointments at Arizona and Oregon, Dunlap spent two seasons in the NBA, working for the Denver Nuggets under head coach George Karl. The Nuggets compiled a 95-69 (.579) record during his tenure and made two playoff appearances, including a



“Madison Square Garden has been rocking lately, and I am not talking about the Knicks, baby! The energy and enthusiasm brought in by St. John’s coach Steve Lavin is amazing. Lavin has done a phenomenal job with the Red Storm. His fi rst step was to get people in the Big Apple excited about St. John’s basketball. Do you think he has achieved that? It helps when you beat five teams that were in the Top 15 in America in Duke, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Notre Dame and Georgetown. How is that for a resume, baby? Those are fi ve incredible W’s! Getting that excitement and energy back in the city was the fi rst step. There is now a buzz over St. John’s that has been missing for years. The school had become irrelevant in the basketball world in New York and what was traditionally a powerhouse truly slipped. That has all changed in Steve Lavin’s fi rst season.”— Dick Vitale, ESPN

“Lavin has already done two things to rekindle the furnace that has driven this program for decades. He has hired an all-star staff, bringing in X and O wizard Mike Dunlap, who won a pair of NCAA Division II titles at Metro State and spent last season at Oregon, along with NBA individual workout guru Rico Hines and likeable, capable recruiter Tony Chiles, who has New York roots, having worked for All Hallows and Columbia, coached at Manhattan and Iona and recruited players for Drexel who could have played at the next level up. Lavin has also added successful Rice High coach Moe Hicks as his director of Basketball Operations, and Hicks should expedite his ability to connect and identify local stars.”— Dick Weiss, New York Daily News

“Lavin has defi nitely moved the needle since arriving in Queens. A school spokesman says the school’s website video of Lavin’s introductory press conference was downloaded 40,000 times in the fi rst two days. Season-ticket sales have spiked. Alumni and corporate sponsors that drifted away from the program are now taking a second look, hoping St. John’s can fi nally get the city’s best recruits to stay home.” — Johnette Howard, ESPNNewYork.com

“Lavin should know. He was an assistant at UCLA when the Bruins came out of hibernation in 1995, the year Jim Harrick coached them to a national championship. Lavin went on to become the head coach at UCLA for seven years from 1996-2003 before becoming a successful analyst at ESPN. He eventually found his way back into coaching this spring, fi nding a new home on Union Turnpike in the house that Joe Lapchick and Lou Carnesecca built.”— Dick Weiss, New York Daily News

50-win season for the 2007-08 Denver squad, a fi rst for the organization in 23 seasons. • “Mike Dunlap absolutely elevates every player and team he comes into contact with,”

said Karl. “He is our guy. He will take you from good to great. Name any top-level, elite coach in the game - the only difference between Mike and them is their address. There is no higher level of coaching ability than his. There is absolutely no one better.”

• Before his time in the NBA, Dunlap was a two-time NCAA Division II national championship mentor (2000 and 2002) and National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II Coach of the Year (2000 and 2002) at Metropolitan State College in Denver, Colo., leading the Roadrunners to nine NCAA Tournament appearances in each of his nine seasons as head coach (1997-2006). Dunlap posted a 248-50 (.832) record en route to three NCAA Division II title game appearances, three North Central Regional championships, fi ve Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) titles, two RMAC Coach of the Year awards and in the process, became Metro State’s all-time winningest coach.

• Prior to his tenure at Metro State, Dunlap served three seasons as the head coach of the Adelaide 36ers, a professional basketball team in Australia. The 36ers posted a 59-33 (.641) record during his tenure and advanced to the National Basketball League Final Four in 1995 and 1996 after appearing in the Grand Final in 1994.

• Dunlap and his wife, Mollie Busterud Dunlap, have three children: Holt (20), Spencer (18) and Ellie (15). An avid runner, Dunlap has a 100-mile race to his credit.

Opening Tips• Following successful surgery to treat prostate cancer on Oct. 6, Lavin continues to follow

a modifi ed schedule with regard to his coaching duties. Lavin coached in four games this season (2-2) including two games at The Garden against ranked competition as part of the 2K Sports Classic benefi ting Coaches vs. Cancer on Nov. 17 and 18. He continues to perform coast-to-coast and local recruiting, media and other head coaching responsibilities. Lavin’s efforts helped land former Texas A&M freshman point guard, former Top 50 Class of 2011 prospect and the No. 8 prep point guard in the nation, Jamal Branch, who practices with the team and will be eligible to suit up for the Red Storm in December of 2012.

• In terms of returning scoring, St. John’s is the youngest team in the nation and one of only seven squads returning less than 20 percent of their points in 2011-12 — St. John’s: 3.7 percent (85-of-2,313), Towson: 5.3 percent (109-of-2,053), Boston College: 10.8 percent (263-of-2,440), Texas: 17 percent (459-of-2,701), UTEP: 17.5 percent (433-of-2,470), Fairleigh Dickinson: 17.8 percent (333-of-1,866) and Wofford 19.98 percent (500-of-2,502).

• St. John’s was 13-4 last season and went 8-0 in BIG EAST play when leading at the half. The team was 6-8 when trailing at halftime, with second-half comebacks against Columbia, Arizona State, Davidson, Northwestern, then-No. 4/4 Pitt and USF.

• The Red Storm went 9-9 away from home in the 2010-11 season, including fi ve true road wins and four at neutral sites. Trips to Moraga, Calif., and Anchorage, Alaska, for the 2010 Great Alaska Shootout title saw St. John’s cover 12,860 miles via air prior to Dec. 1.

• The Jan. 30, 2011, victory over Duke was before a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden (19,353). Before that, the last time St. John’s sold out a regular season game at “The World’s Most Famous Arena” was on March 2, 2003, when the Red Storm upset No. 6 Duke, 72-71, before a sellout crowd of 19,610. Marcus Hatten capped a 29-point performance by hitting the game-winning free throw with no time remaining. The Red Storm sold out two-straight home games last season, as 5,602 fans attended the Jan. 22 contest against No. 25 Cincinnati at Carnesecca Arena in Queens. The Feb. 23 game on campus vs. DePaul and the March 5 “Senior Night Blackout” vs. USF marked the Red Storm’s third and fourth sell-outs of the season, respectively.

• St. John’s is scheduled to play 19 games on national television in 2011-12, after a streak last season where seven of the Red Storm’s last 11 regular season games aired on national television. STJ was 5-2 in that stretch, and went 7-7 on the year in nationally-televised games (CBS: 1-2, ESPN: 4-2, ESPN2: 1-1, ESPNU: 1-2). St. John’s is 6-12 on national television so far in 2011-12.

Scouting Pitt• Pittsburgh comes into Tuesday’s matchup at 16-15 and 5-13 in the BIG EAST, earning it

the No. 13 seed in the 2012 BIG EAST Championship. The Panthers’ conference season was defi ned by streaks, as they started league losing seven, then rebounded for a four-game winning streak including a win over then-No. 10 Georgetown, but fell into a fi ve game slump before their win over St. John’s last Wednesday. Pitt fi nished the


“Coach Lavin has done a great job — just from talking to the kids — of instilling confi dence in them. Talent is one thing. Performance in practice is one thing. Performing on the big stage is a whole other.” — Chris Mullin, Naismith Hall of Fame ‘11

“Lavin comes with a track record. He comes with a history of success, and a string of players he recruited to UCLA who have thrived in the NBA. He comes with an engaging personality that is sure to play well among the various factions of New York City in which he will now have to immerse himself.”— Mike Vaccaro, New York Post

“Now Lavin is trying to put the New York back in St. John’s, not only by adding homegrown names to his roster but by injecting the city’s verve and fl air into his program as well. “— Dana O’Neil, ESPN.com

“Lavin was always looking to get back into college basketball and his position in the media allowed him to stay current. His enthusiastic approach equals the hunger of the Johnnies’ faithful. The late-night fi lm sessions and early-morning skill development workouts, which can become burdensome to some coaches, have been part of the tent revival for this born-again coach.”— Dick Weiss, New York Daily News

“Lavin is now the face of the St. John’s program – the most recognizable one since Looie. Carnesecca wore Chevron sweaters and Lavin wears designer suits. Looie was the perfect coach in the 80’s and 90’s and now St. John’s seems to have found the perfect one going forward.”— New York Post

“Lavin has made St. John’s relevant again in a crowded New York media market. He handed out 300 business cards his fi rst two weeks on the job and then quickly went putting together the nation’s No. 2 recruiting class. The Mets asked him to throw out the fi rst pitch at a game. About 4,000 people showed up for his fi rst public appearance on campus. He and his actress wife Mary Ann Jarou are regulars on the back (and front) pages of the New York tabloids. Jarous, who has appeared on “Entourage” and “King of Queens,” was immediately dubbed by the tabs as the “Queen of Queens.”— Orange County Register

regular season with a 74-65 loss to Connecticut on Saturday.• Statistically, the Panthers have three players averaging in double fi gures, led by senior

guard Ashton Gibbs (15.4 ppg), redshirt junior guard Tray Woodall (11.5) and senior forward Nasir Robinson (11.0). Robinson leads the squad in rebounding (6.6 rpg) and is one of fi ve players on the roster averaging at least fi ve boards per game.

• As a team, the Panthers are effi cient offensively, shooting .453 from the fi eld, good for fi fth in the BIG EAST. Pitt pulls down 36.9 rebounds per game, sixth most in the conference, while allowing a conference-best 29.1 rebounds for opponents en route to a league-high +7.7 rebounding margin.

• Head Coach Jamie Dixon is in his ninth year at the helm of the Panthers and 13th overall in Pittsburgh, compiling a 232-74 record. Dixon has led the Panthers to three BIG EAST titles, and currently has the highest conference winning percentage of any coach in BIG EAST history. Dixon’s success has helped the Panthers be the winningest program in the conference over the last 11 years in terms of winning percentage.

• This will be the 57th meeting in the series between St. John’s and Pittsburgh, which the Red Storm lead 34-22. Pitt won the last meeting, 89-69, on Feb. 29 last week. In the last meeting at Madison Square Garden, the Panthers were on a fi ve-game winning streak in the series, but St. John’s completed an epic comeback as Dwight Hardy hit a twisting, driving circus shot at the buzzer to give STJ the 60-59 victory over then-No. 4/4 Pitt.

A Look Back At 2010-11• The fi rst year of The Steve Lavin Era included a 21-12 overall record in 2010-11, marking

St. John’s most wins since the 2002-03 season, with six Top 25 victories, four over Top 10 opponents and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the fi rst time since 2002.

• The USBWA District II Coach of the Year, Lavin transformed a team that fi nished in 13th place in the BIG EAST Conference in 2009-10 at 6-12 to a squad that tied for third last season at 12-6 — only twice before has a jump of such magnitude occurred in BIG EAST Conference history.

• The Red Storm fi nished its season ranked 18th in the Associated Press Top 25, marking the fi rst time it qualifi ed for the postseason as a ranked team since 2000-01.

• The Red Storm, which posted a 7-1 record in eight regular season games at Madison Square Garden (capacity: 19,353) and a 5-2 record on campus at Carnesecca Arena (capacity: 5,602) saw its home attendance climb by 38.1 percent, marking the fourth-largest increase in NCAA Division I men’s basketball.

Noting The Red Storm Schedule• St. John’s is scheduled to play three contests against teams in the Preseason AP Top 5,

six in the Top 10, eight in the Top 20 and 11 in the Top 25.• In all, St. John’s could play 17 regular season games against teams that participated

in the postseason in 2010-11, all from the NCAA Tournament (Arizona, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Duke, Georgetown, Kentucky, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse, Texas A&M, Villanova, West Virginia, UCLA).

Milestones Already Mounting Under Lavin• With 21 wins in 2010-11, St. John’s tied its most victories since fi nishing 21-13 in the 2002-03

season, and was one victory short of the most since the 1999-2000 BIG EAST Championship team posted 25. St. John’s also earned 12 BIG EAST wins for the fi rst time since 1999-2000.

• In 2010-11, St. John’s defeated six ranked opponents, the most in one season since taking down six ranked foes in 1999-2000.

The Red Storm’s five BIG EAST road victories were its most since STJ totaled six conference road wins in 1998-99. St. John’s undefeated conference slate in Feb. 2011 was the fi rst for a BIG EAST team since Louisville had a perfect Feb. in 2008.

• The men’s team was then introduced. Just one week removed from successful surgery to treat prostate cancer, head men’s coach Steve Lavin could not be in attendance, but offered the following statement, which was read to the crowd by freshman Moe Harkless.

• “Last week’s surgery was a success. Now my return to coaching duties will be dictated by the healing process. I’m under the expert care of Dr. Scardino at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and we are working closely to measure the daily progress being made during this vital recovery period. Naturally, I wish I was at Carnesecca Arena tonight to participate in the Tip-Off festivities with our team, and celebrate the start of the college basketball season with our loyal fans! Please know our players and staff appreciate your support. I will be watching from home with great pride! Go Johnnies!”

Lavin: One Branch On The Keady Coaching Tree • St. John’s special assistant/advisor Gene Keady was a decorated head coach at Purdue University for 25 seasons, from 1980-2005.

He led the Boilermakers to six conference titles and seventeen NCAA Tournament appearances, including two Elite Eights, tallying 512 wins with the Boilermakers. He has mentored a number of assistant coaches who are currently enjoying success as head coaches around the college basketball landscape.

• In 2010-11, former pupil and current St. John’s head coach Steve Lavin went 21-12 overall, and 12-6 in the BIG EAST Conference, but all told, each of Keady’s seven former assistants-now-turned-active-head-coaches authored fi ne seasons.

Stallings was an assistant under Keady for six seasons from 1982 to 1988; he also played at Purdue for three seasons, two of them under Keady. Martin, now the head coach at Tennessee, was an assistant coach for Keady and Matt Painter at his alma mater from 2000-08 at Purdue. Darner played for Keady with teammates Painter and Martin from 1991-94, while Major graduated from Purdue in 1992 after serving as a student manager under Keady.

The Blue Devils’ overall shooting wasn’t a whole lot better as they shot 29.6 percent (8 of 27) in the half — they entered the game shooting 48.1 percent from the fi eld — and they were careless with the ball as well, committing 11 turnovers, one off their season average for a game. Hardy had 26 points for St. John’s, while Brownlee had 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists and Paris Horne added 15 points and six assists.

• ST. JOHN’S 72, NO. 9/11 NOTRE DAME 54 — Jan. 16, 2011 — Facing the Fighting Irish for the second time in eight days, and looking to avenge a 15-point road loss from the fi rst meeting, St. John’s used smothering defense to down its second Top 25 opponent of the 2010-11 season. The 18-point triumph marked the largest win against Notre Dame since a 73-53 win on Feb. 24, 1999. St. John’s held the Fighting Irish to just 19 fi rst-half points on 28.6 percent (4-of-14) shooting from the fl oor. The 19 points marked the lowest fi rst-half point total for Notre Dame this season, while the four fi rst half fi eld goals were the fewest in the fi rst half in the Mike Brey Era. The 54 total points were also a season low for the Irish, which entered the game scoring 77.0 points a game. Malik Boothe and Kennedy fi nished the contest with 14 points apiece.

• ST. JOHN’S 61, NO. 13/13 GEORGETOWN 65 — Jan. 3, 2011 — Hardy had 20 points — his sixth 20-point performance in seven games — to lead the Red Storm to its best BIG EAST start since 1999-2000. St. John’s came into this game off two conference road wins and came up with another solid effort, especially on the defensive end. The Red Storm’s constantly changing defenses, with a tendency toward zones most of the time, were so effective that Georgetown’s three guards and leading scorers — Austin Freeman, Chris Wright and Jason Clark — were a combined 7-of-25 from the field — 2-of-13 on 3-pointers — and had a total of 20 points, 26.1 below their combined averages coming in.

QQUUEEEENNSS,, NN..YY.. - It took one of the nation's least experienced teams 20 minutesto start looking like a team of veterans.

Sophomore guard Nurideen Lindsey scored 17 of his 19 points in the secondhalf to lead St. John's to a 74-59 victory over William & Mary on Monday nightin the opening round of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer.

The Red Storm had only one player back from last season's team that went 21-12 and made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002. It looked thatway as William & Mary took a 33-26 halftime lead.

St. John's shot just 32.3 percent from the field (10-for-31), including makingonly 2-of-9 from 3-point range in the first half, and forced nine turnovers, astaple of the pressure defense that allows the Red Storm to take advantage ofits speed and athleticism.

The stats were decidedly different in the second half as the Red Storm forced12 turnovers - and turned them into 21 points - and shot 67.9 percent (19-of-28) from the field.

"I think in the first half the guys came out a little tight. We were definitelyexcited about the game but we weren't ready to play," said Lindsey, one of thesix newcomers on the roster. "In the second half we turned it up a notch andgot more intense."

Junior big man God'sgift Achiuwa and rookie guard/forward Moe Harklessboth added 17 points for the Red Storm (1-0), who were without head coachSteve Lavin, who is recovering from prostate cancer surgery on Oct. 6.

Quinn McDowell had 20 points for William & Mary (0-1), which made seven 3-pointers in taking the seven-point halftime lead.

McDowell scored to open the second half for a nine-point lead but the RedStorm went on a 22-5 run that saw St. John's make 10-of-14 shots, all but twofrom inside. Sir'Dominic Pointer's 3 gave St. John's a 48-40 lead.

QQUUEEEENNSS,, NN..YY.. - St. John's head coach Steve Lavin had been away from his teamfor just more than a month. He decided to return to the bench about three-and-a-half hours before St. John's played its second game of the season.

Junior forward God'sgift Achiuwa scored 21 points on a perfect shooting nightand added eight rebounds as St. John's (2-0) rallied from a 14-point second-halfdeficit for a 78-73 victory over Lehigh (0-1) on Wednesday night to give Lavin awin in his return from prostate cancer surgery.

Mike Dunlap, the assistant coach who was in charge of the program duringLavin's absence, was the one who prodded his boss into the earlier return.Lavin made his first appearance at a practice on Tuesday.

Lavin made a surprising and understated return, walking out to the court justminutes after the Red Storm came out for pregame warmups. The studentsbehind both baskets erupted into cheers and started chanting, "We loveLavin!"

The Red Storm was down 60-46 with 11:09 to play, then turned on the defen-sive intensity in holding the Mountain Hawks scoreless for almost six minutes toget back in the game. St. John's kept it up over the final moments to take con-trol and give Lavin the victory.

St. John's took advantage of Lehigh going cold from the field - both inside andout - to get within 60-58 on a rebound basket by Harkless with 5:50 to go.Holden Greiner hit a turnaround 23 seconds later, Lehigh's first points in almost6 minutes. Harkless hit a 3 - the Red Storm's second of the game in nineattempts - to tie the game at 64 with 3:40 to go.

Gabe Knutson's 3-point play on a rebound basket gave the Mountain Hawksthe lead back, but Lindsey and Sir'Dominic Pointer hit drives and St. John's hadits first lead since 4-3.

The Red Storm took the lead for good at 70-69 on a basket by Achiuwa, whohad a perfect shooting night, making six field goals and nine free throws.

St. John's had all fivestarters score in double figures for the first time since Feb. 26, 2000 in an 83-82win at Duke - the last non-conference loss for the Blue Devils at CameronIndoor Stadium.

The Red Storm's first two wins this season featured second-half comebacks.Everyone connected with the young team was hoping for a different script toSunday's game, and they got it.

The sophomore junior college transfer had 15 points, 10 rebounds and nineassists to lead the Red Storm (3-0). He had 10 points, seven assists and fiverebounds at the half when St. John's was leading 39-34.

NEW YORK - When you have a seven-man rotation and all but one of the play-ers is in his first season of Division I basketball, you have to expect there aregoing to be some tough nights.

St. John's first loss of the season wasn't one of those games where lack ofdepth and experience were glaring weaknesses.

The Red Storm are going to have to learn how to handle foul trouble.

The starting backcourt of Nurideen Lindsey and D'Angelo Harrison both fouledout down the stretch when the Red Storm just couldn't handle the Wildcats'final run.

Solomon Hill had 15 points to lead Arizona.

The Wildcats will play Mississippi State in the championship game on Fridaynight at Madison Square Garden. The Bulldogs (3-1) beat No. 19 Texas A&M 69-60 in the other semifinal.

Lindsey had 18 points for the Red Storm and Harrison added 16.

The Wildcats (4-0) led 44-41 at halftime and were up 54-47 about 5 minutesinto the second half. St. John's (3-1), one of the least experienced teams in thecountry, suddenly started running and taking advantage of defensive pressureto go on a 12-2 surge to take a 66-58 lead - and the Red Storm had the crowdat Madison Square Garden behind them.

Arizona, which had started hot from 3-point range before cooling off, suddenlyfound its stroke behind the arc again in a 16-2 run that gave the Wildcats a 74-68 lead with 3:13 to play.

NNEEWW YYOORRKK - St. John's coach Steve Lavin knew this season would have someups and downs in it with a roster featuring only seven scholarship players andall but one in their first season in Division I.

He couldn't have expected to have seen so many twists and turns through justfive games.

"What I shared with the team after the game was similar to what I said lastnight," Lavin said Friday after the Red Storm lost 58-57 to No. 19 Texas A&M inthe third-place game of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer."There were stretches we played really well and we also put ourselves in a holeagain, trailing by 11."

St. John's (3-2) has been behind in each of its five games this season.

The Red Storm may have rallied, but they couldn't do much with a huge advan-tage at the free throw line.

They were 22-of-38 at the line and missed 8-of-13 over the final 6:21. Thatincluded two misses by Nurideen Lindsey with 2.3 seconds left that could havetied the game or given the Red Storm the lead after Elston Turner hit a shortjumper with 6 seconds left to make it 58-57.

Turner's big jumper were his only points of the second half for the Aggies (3-1).Turner grabbed the final rebound when Lindsey missed the second free throwthat could have tied the game.

DDEETTRROOIITT - St. John's battled back from an 11-point halftime deficit to get towithin two points in the second half, but Detroit held on for a 69-63 victory onthe night of the school's unveiling of Dick Vitale Court at Calihan Hall.

Moe Harkless finished with a team-high 19 points and a game-high 11rebounds to post his second-consecutive double-double, while Detroit-nativeSir'Dominic Pointer added 10 points and eight boards for St. John's (4-5).D'Angelo Harrison chipped in with 15 points for the Red Storm, which shot aseason-high 85.7 percent (18-of-21) from the free throw line and posted a sea-son-high +16 (42-26) margin on the boards.

Ray McCallum had 21 points and Chase Simon had 20 to lead Detroit (4-6),which shot 47.9 percent (23-of-48) from the floor despite a 5-of-18 (27.8) clipfrom beyond the arc.

St. John's worked quickly after intermission to cut into the 11-point deficit.After four free throws by God'sgift Achiuwa and a Phil Greene jumper, aHarkless 3-point play capped a 9-0 run as the Red Storm closed to within two,32-30, with 17:24 to play. When Detroit responded to extend the lead back tonine, the Red Storm answered again as a Harkless trey and a Nurideen Lindseylayup made it a four point game, 43-39, with 10:57 to go. After a McCallum 3-pointer put Detroit up eight with 2:02 remaining, St. John's responded again asHarrison countered immediately with a trey of his own to make it 60-55. TheTitans, though, scored the next four points to re-establish a nine point lead, 64-55, with just 1:13 left.

Following an 8-0 run by the Titans to open the game, St. John's responded witha 15-7 run as a Lindsey jumper tied the game at 15-15 with 11:03 remaining. ALaMarcus Lowe 3-point play put Detroit back on top, 18-15, before back-to-back jump shots by Pointer put the Red Storm up, 19-18, with 8:29 remaining.The Titans answered with another run, however, closing the half on a 14-2spurt to take a 32-21 lead into halftime.

NNEEWW YYOORRKK - St. John's had five players for the first half, six for the second. TheRed Storm's coach was about 1,000 miles away. Sounds like a recipe for a youngteam to lose its fourth straight game. Not this team.

Freshman forward Moe Harkless had 13 points and 16 rebounds - marking histhird-straight double-double - to lead short-handed St. John's to a 56-50 victoryover Fordham on Saturday in the Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden.

It was the Red Storm's first game since Nurideen Lindsey transferred leavingthem with a six-man rotation. Malik Stith sat out the first half for a minor teamviolation involving academics, but contributed a key steal in the second stanza.

St. John's head coach Steve Lavin was not on the bench for the sixth time thisseason as he recovers from prostate cancer surgery.

The Red Storm (5-5) appeared to take control with an 18-0 run that spannedhalftime and gave them a 42-26 lead with 16:53 to play. But the Rams (4-6) hadthoughts back to last year's game when they overcame a 21-point deficit in thesecond half to win 84-81.

Fordham managed to close to 53-50 on a dunk by Kervin Bristol with 1:56 toplay and had a chance to tie it after D'Angelo Harrison missed a jumper.

St. John's, which had lost three straight, sealed the win by going 3-of-4 at thefree throw line over the final 26 seconds.

St. John's closed the half on an 11-0 run, with Harkless getting two jumpers,one a 3-pointer.

Harrison had 15 points for St. John's, which finished with a 51-37 reboundadvantage.

Branden Frazier had 17 points and Gaston added 11 points and 14 rebounds forthe Rams, who shot just 29.7 percent (19 for 64) from the field, including 8 of29 from 3-point range.

QQUUEEEENNSS,, NN..YY.. - 'Tis the season for giving, and Texas-Pan American gave St.John's just about all it could handle on Wednesday night at Carnesecca Arena.Luckily for Red Storm fans, the Johnnies were in the giving mood as well downthe stretch, and handed UTPA a 66-61 defeat.

D'Angelo Harrison tied a career high with 21 points, which included the differ-ence-making deep 3-pointer with 36 seconds left, to give St. John's its final leadand the victory. Harrison fired at a 7-for-13 clip from the field, sank three 3sand scored 17 points in the second half to lift the Red Storm.

St. John's had already received a present earlier in the day as rookie AmirGarrett was declared eligible. Garrett played 15 minutes and had three pointsand two rebounds in a debut that preceded his first official full-length practice.

The biggest gift of all, of course, was forward God'sgift Achiuwa. The juniorhad a career-high 22 point, nine-rebound performance that included a 10-for-14 effort from the field and even featured his first career Division I 3-pointer.

The Broncos extended a second-half lead to 12, 44-32 with 14:34 to play, beforeHarrison's initial flurry. His 10-0 personal run with two layups and a pair of 3scut the deficit to two, 44-42 with 11:19 to play. St. John's closed to within onepoint four times before tying the game at 53-53 and eventually took a brieftwo-point lead - its first advantage since 6:32 in the first half. UTPA, however,made a pair of long treys to retake a 61-57 lead with just 3:45 and led by twowith less than a minute in regulation. Harrison's long-range 3-pointer with 36seconds on the clock put the Red Storm up 62-61 and Moe Harkless (9 points, 5boards) added a steal and a fast break dunk to secure the victory.

St. John's opened the game firing at an 8-for-11 clip and after Harrison draineda pair of free throws at the 11:34 mark, the Red Storm led by 10, 19-9. AHarkless trey gave the Red Storm a 22-15 lead at 10:32, but was also the last St.John's field goal of the half. The Broncos quickly cut into the lead before aJesus Delgado layup tied the game at 24-24 with 6:32 to go. Another Delgadolayup opened up an 8-0 run for UTPA as St. John's would miss its final ninefield goals of the half and trail at the break, 32-24.

QUEENS, N.Y. - The list of great freshmen in the BIG EAST is long and star-stud-ded. St. John's rookie Moe Harkless jumped to the top Tuesday night.

The 6-foot-8 forward scored 32 points - the most ever by a freshman in his BIGEAST debut - and St. John's had its best offensive game of the season in a 91-67victory over Providence. Fellow freshman D'Angelo Harrison had a season-high25 points.

Harkless looked stunned when he was told he passed Notre Dame's TroyMurphy and Georgetown's Allen Iverson, who both had 30 points in their fresh-man debut.

"I don't even know what to say," Harkless said. "It's an honor to be mentionedwith those guys. Being able to break the record is a great feeling."

The win snapped the Friars' seven-game winning streak and left Providencecoach Ed Cooley upset to say the least.

St. John's guard Phil Greene, another freshman, had 12 points for the RedStorm (7-5, 1-0), which won its third-straight after a three-game losing streakand had a season-high for points. The previous best was 82 points in a 24-pointwin over UMBC.

The Red Storm came into the game averaging 66.7 points - 15th in the 16-teamBIG EAST - but they had 47 and a 16-point lead at halftime.

Providence committed 20 turnovers, well over their season average of 13.2, andthe Red Storm turned them into 34 points.

Harkless, who was an efficient 14-of-17 from the field, had 13 rebounds for hisfourth double-double in a five-game span.

Gerard Coleman had 20 points for the Friars (11-3, 0-1), who had won three-straight road games and had been allowing only 62.9 points per game.

NNEEWW YYOORRKK – Moe Harkless is the centerpiece of St. John's freshman class, fourof whom start for the Red Storm. The 6-foot-8 forward is the second-leadingscorer and rebounder among BIG EAST freshmen and he had another lessonSunday in just how tough it is in conference play.

Harkless had 21 points and 10 rebounds - his sixth double-double in the last 10games - but he fouled out with 5:15 to play in the Red Storm's 69-49 loss to No.11 Georgetown at Madison Square Garden.

St. John's (8-9, 2-4 BIG EAST) was able to get the crowd of 11,475 back into thegame with an 8-0 run that brought the Red Storm within 48-45 with 6:36 left.

But Georgetown's Hollis Thompson, who scored all 20 of his points in the sec-ond half, hit a 3 in front of the Hoyas' bench to end the run and center HenrySims then got Harkless to foul him on consecutive possessions. He made threeof the four free throws, but much more important was that they were Harkless'fourth and fifth fouls. The Hoyas closed the game with a 21-4 run.

Jason Clark had 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists and freshman OttoPorter added 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Hoyas (14-3, 4-2 BIG EAST),who had lost to West Virginia and Cincinnati after an 11-game winning streak.

Freshman Sir'Dominic Pointer had 12 points for the Red Storm, which has lostfour-of-five and dropped to 0-7 this season against ranked teams. Last season,St. John's had six wins over teams in the Top 25.

Harrison, who averaged 19.2 points on 43.8 percent shooting over the last sixgames, finished with five points on 1-for-12 shooting.

Georgetown used a 7-0 run early in the second half to take a 35-25 lead andthe final points of it were a 3-pointer and an impressive dunk on the fast breakby Thompson.

St. John's, which came into the game 15th in the 16-team Big East in 3-pointshooting at 25.8 percent, finished 0-of-10 from beyond the arc.

NNEEWW YYOORRKK - The odds were stacked pretty heavily against St. John's in the finalmoments of overtime. St. John's freshman guard D'Angelo Harrison had scoreda career-high 28 points despite playing just 31 minutes and fouling out with1:52 to go in the extra session. The Red Storm was being heavily outrebounded,a margin that would total minus-16 by game's end. And the youngest squad incollege basketball had turned the ball over 21 times, even while forcing 23from Villanova. But there St. John's was, still with a chance to capture an elu-sive BIG EAST victory.

Villanova junior guard Maalik Wayns scored 28 points, his third-straight gamewith at least 25, and Villanova beat St. John's 79-76 in overtime Saturday atMadison Square Garden.

St. John's led 60-50 with 6:49 to play in regulation, but the Wildcats were ableto tie it at 67 on a jumper by Wayns with 30 seconds left in regulation.

Villanova opened the overtime on an 8-1 run, but the win wasn't sealed untilWayns made two free throws with 22 seconds left that made it 79-76. STJ fresh-man Sir'Dominic Pointer missed a possible tying 3-pointer with three secondsleft.

Dominic Cheek had 20 points and JayVaughn Pinkston added 13 points and 12rebounds for Villanova (10-10, 3-5).

Forward Moe Harkless had 16 points for the Red Storm (8-11, 2-6), who lost itsfourth straight and sixth of seven, while point guard Phil Greene added a sea-son-high 14. They are two of the four freshmen who start for St. John's, whichplays just seven players.

Mouphtaou Yarou had 13 rebounds for the Wildcats, who finished with a 52-36advantage on the boards.

Harkless made 4-of-9 free throws for the Red Storm, who came in shooting 69percent from the line. Villanova was 15-of-26 from the free-throw line, well offtheir conference-leading 76.4 percent coming in.

NNEEWW YYOORRKK - There can't be a younger starting five than St. John's hadWednesday night against West Virginia. Five freshmen were introduced as thestarting lineup for the Red Storm and when the game was over they snapped afour-game losing streak with a 78-62 victory. They had a blast in this one.

The Red Storm (9-11, 3-6 BIG EAST) used runs of 8-0 and 9-0 to take a 36-20halftime lead and led by as many as 21 points in the second half.

It was believed to be the first time St. John's started five freshmen since the1927-28 season with the team that went on to be known as "The WonderFive." Freshmen were not eligible for varsity competition from the early 1950suntil 1972.

St. John's looked nothing like the team that entered the game last in the 16-team conference in field goal percentage (42.2), finishing at 48.4 percent (31-of-64). They even improved their last-place 3-point percentage (24.4), making 4-of-12.

West Virginia (15-6, 5-3), which had won three-straight and five of six, strug-gled offensively all game. The Mountaineers came in fourth in the Big East witha 46.6 shooting percentage but they finished at 35.4 percent (23-of-65).

Kevin Jones, who leads the BIG EAST in scoring (20.7) and rebounding (11.5),finished with 26 points and 14 rebounds, but it wasn't close to being enough.

Freshman D'Angelo Harrison, coming off a season-high 28 points againstVillanova, had 19 points for the Red Storm, who had won just one of its first sixgames this season at Madison Square Garden.

West Virginia closed within 68-59 on a basket by Bryant with 2:46 to go, butthat was as close as the Mountaineers would get.

This was the Red Storm's second-straight win over West Virginia after losing 10in a row in the series. The Mountaineers had won five straight at St. John's.

DDUURRHHAAMM,, NN..CC.. - Starting five freshman for the second-straight game and play-ing against a ranked opponent for the eighth time this season, St. John's cut a22-point second half deficit down to four with less than a minute to playbefore No. 8/6 Duke held on for an 83-76 win at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Moe Harkless registered his second-career 30-point game, finishing with 30points and 13 rebounds for his second-straight double-double and the eighthof his career. D'Angelo Harrison recorded his sixth 20-point effort this year,helping pace St. John's (9-12) with a 21-point afternoon.

Mason Plumlee had 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds and Ryan Kellyadded 16 points to lead four players in double-figures for Duke (18-3), whichwon its 94th-consecutive non-conference game at home. Andre Dawkins andAustin Rivers chipped in with 14 and 12 points, respectively, for the Blue Devils,who held their 22-point advantage with 17:09 left.

Harrison's 3 with 20.7 seconds left pulled the Red Storm to within 79-75. Kellyanswered with two free throws to put Duke back up by six.

The Red Storm, the last non-Atlantic Coast Conference team to win at Cameron(Feb. 26, 2000), thumped Duke 93-78 last year at Madison Square Garden. Noneof the current players saw the court in that game, and the coach who orches-trated that beating - Steve Lavin - has been out for much of the season whilerecovering from prostate cancer surgery.

One of the Red Storm's easiest baskets of the day wound up being the impetusfor the run that seemed to put Duke in control. An incensed Mike Krzyzewskicalled a time out after Harkless slipped free for a dunk down the lane to makeit 23-20 midway through the first half.

The Blue Devils responded with a 20-3 run keyed by Dawkins that put them upby 20. The junior guard hit three 3-pointers over the Red Storm's 1-2-2 zonedefense, both starting and ending the run by connecting from long range. Histhird 3 made it 43-23 with 1:45 before the break.

RROOSSEEMMOONNTT,, IIllll.. - Freshman D'Angelo Harrison scored a career-high 29 pointsand drained seven 3-pointers, one shy of tying a school-record, as St. John'sshot a sizzling 73.3 percent (22-of-30) as part of a 57-point second half andnotched its second BIG EAST road win of the season with an 87-81 triumphagainst DePaul at Allstate Arena.

Harrison was 8-of-19 and knocked down 7-of-11 3s to come within one of tyingthe school-record of eight set by Avery Patterson against UNF on Nov. 10, 2006.The freshman's seven treys were the most since D.J. Kennedy made seven in athrilling triple overtime win at DePaul on March 5, 2010.

Cleveland Melvin had 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead DePaul (11-10, 2-7),while Brandon Young also had a double-double with 13 points and 11 assists.

DePaul had the hot hand to open the second half and quickly extended its slimhalftime lead to nine, 40-31, at 17:45. Harrison, however, buried four 3s in aspan of just 2:49 to close the deficit to three, 48-45. The Blue Demons builttheir lead back to eight, 59-51, before a Sir'Dominic Pointer jumper capped a13-0 run and gave the Red Storm a five-point advantage, 64-59, with 8:27 left.DePaul came back again to level the score at 64-64, but Harrison's seventh treybroke the tie, gave St. John's the lead for good and opened a quick 9-2 spurtthat Greene capped with a slam to give the Red Storm a 73-66 lead.

Harrison gave St. John's an early 7-3 advantage with a trey at the 17:59 markand after DePaul took an 8-7 lead, the freshman answered with another 3-pointer to put the Red Storm back up 10-8 with 16:42 to go. After the RedStorm tied the game at 14-14, the Blue Demons reeled off a 17-5 run to openup their largest lead of the game, 31-19, with 4:41 in the half.

Game #23Feb. 4, 2012 • Madison Square Garden

1 2 TotalSt. John’s 27 43 70No. 2/2 Syracuse 41 54 95

NNEEWW YYOORRKK - Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim was answering a lot of questionsabout his team after No. 2 Syracuse's latest win. One of his most interestingresponses, however, was about the St. John's team his Orange had just beaten95-70 on Saturday.

Boeheim, who tied Dean Smith for third place on the coaches' all-time victorylist with win No. 879, could only shake his head when he spoke of the RedStorm, who have five freshmen and a junior college transfer in their seven-manrotation.

Fab Melo scored a career-high 14 points in his return after a three-gameabsence and Syracuse (23-1, 10-1 Big East) rallied behind the return of the 7-footer, taking a 41-27 halftime lead and blowing it open by starting the secondhalf on a 16-3 run in front of a sellout crowd of 19,979 at Madison SquareGarden, most of whom were wearing orange.

Rookie guard D'Angelo Harrison had 23 points for the Red Storm (10-13, 4-7),who fell to 0-9 this season against ranked teams. They had four wins last sea-son over top-10 teams. Freshman forward Moe Harkless added 15 points androokie floor general Phil Greene had 14.

It would have been the fourth straight game St. John's started five freshmen -the "Fresh Five" - but Harrison didn't start because he was late for the teambus. He was in the game within the first three minutes after a career-high 29points against DePaul in the Red Storm's previous game.

Dion Waiters and C.J. Fair both had 14 points for the Orange, whose only lossthis season was at Notre Dame in the first game of the three Melo missed. KrisJoseph and Michael Carter-Williams had 13 points each for Syracuse, which shot55.7 percent (39 for 70) from the field.

NNEEWW YYOORRKK - St. John's "Fresh Five" - which has shown flourishes of its brightfuture over the past two weeks - displayed how young it is on Wednesdaynight at The Garden, as a tough night all around - shooting, rebounding andon defense - doomed the Red Storm to a 76-54 loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Cincinnati entered the game third in the conference in points allowed (60.4)and that number went down as the Bearcats held the Red Storm to 32.8 per-cent shooting (19-for-58) for the game. The Bearcats shot 51.7 percent (31-of-60), including going 7-of-16 from 3-point range.

The big win by the Bearcats (17-7, 7-4 BIG EAST) ended a string of four-straightgames between the teams that ended with two-point margins, including St.John's 57-55 win at Cincinnati on Jan. 7.

Sean Kilpatrick, the Bearcats' leading scorer with a 15.4 average, scored 10-straight points as part of a 12-3 run that gave Cincinnati a 44-27 lead with15:26 to play. He had eight rebounds. Yancy Gates had 14 points and ninerebounds and Cashmere Wright had 12 points and 10 rebounds for theBearcats, who finished with a 49-29 rebound advantage.

NNEEWW YYOORRKK - On Saturday at The Garden, St. John's came up with a big win bydoing all the little things. The Red Storm used a slew of hustle plays to beatUCLA 66-63 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. The biggest of those hustleplays came with 6.5 seconds to play when Phil Greene tipped in D'AngeloHarrison's 3-point attempt as the shot clock ran out.

The offensive rebound was the first of the game for Greene, a 6-foot-2 guard,and the 19th for St. John's (11-16). It gave the Red Storm a 66-62 lead on theirway to ending a four-game losing streak.

Fellow "Fresh Five" rookie starter Harrison scored 22 points for St. John's,which finished with a 19-15 edge on the offensive glass that it turned into a 26-15 advantage in second-chance points and a 34-30 lead in points in the paint.

Jermine Anderson made 1-of-2 free throws for UCLA (15-12) with 4.7 secondsleft. Harkless missed the front of a 1-and-1 with 3 seconds left but the ballbounced around for a second or two and the Bruins didn't get off a good shotattempt at the buzzer.

Sir'Dominic Pointer had 13 points and seven rebounds for the Red Storm, whoprevailed in the matchup of the Big East and Pac-12.

After being outrebounded 39-26 in a 30-point loss to Seton Hall, Dunlap saidthe team had to adapt more of a "gang tackle" approach off the glass.

Tyler Lamb had 18 points and David Wear and Joshua Smith both had 13 pointsfor the Bruins. Travis Wear had 11 points and 13 rebounds for UCLA.

UCLA finished with 16 turnovers, well above its average of 11 per game, andeight were committed by Lamb. Pointer's dunk with 13:16 left gave the RedStorm the lead for good at 47-45. The Bruins got within one point twice, thelast at 54-53 on a rebound basket by Travis Wear.

Wear's rebound basket with 43 seconds left brought UCLA to 64-62. The RedStorm ran the shot clock down and Harrison took the 3 that Greene tipped in.

QQUUEEEENNSS,, NN..YY.. - It's clear that St. John's five-man freshman lineup - the "FreshFive" - is the foundation for the Red Storm's future. That doesn't mean, howev-er, they're incapable of impressing in the present.

Rookie guard D'Angelo Harrison scored 23 points - marking his 11th 20-pluspoint performance of the season - and freshman forward Amir Garrett added aseason-high 18 with a career-high nine boards to lead St. John's to a 79-72 vic-tory over DePaul and a season sweep of the regular-season series.

Their classmate, first-year swingman Moe Harkless added 14 points andgrabbed his 10th rebound at the buzzer to record his 11th double-double, plac-ing him in a fifth-place tie among all active BIG EAST leaders, regardless ofclass. Freshman floor general Phil Greene scored 10 with three assists and threesteals, while defensive dynamo Sir'Dominic Pointer contributed nine points, sixrebounds, four assists and three steals.

The Red Storm (12-16, 5-10 BIG EAST) has won two-straight after losing four ina row and now owns sole possession of 11th place in the 16-team conference.Harrison, now with 479 first-year points, is only 21 away from tying the St.John's all-time freshman scoring record. Harkless, with 438 points, is not farbehind. The record currently belongs to Erick Barkley, who netted 500 even inhis 1998-99 rookie campaign.

Cleveland Melvin had 18 points and a career-high 15 rebounds for the BlueDemons (11-16, 2-13), which have lost seven straight and 12-of-13.

St. John's had two field goals - the second with 10 seconds left - over the final4:46 but the Red Storm went 10-for-12 from the free throw line over that spanto hold off DePaul, which stayed within six points until the final basket. TheRed Storm came into the game shooting 68.3 percent from the line.

Brandon Young added 17 points and Jamee Crockett had 15 but he was 1-for-11 from 3-point range. The Blue Demons, who came in shooting 34.1 percentfrom beyond the arc, finished 6-of-31 (19.4 percent). St. John's forced DePaulinto 18 turnovers, which the Red Storm harvested into 24 points.

NNEEWW YYOORRKK - Back-to-back Saturdays at Madison Square Garden have resultedin back-to-back nationally televised victories for the Red Storm and its "FreshFive." Exactly one week after toppling UCLA 66-63 at The World's Most FamousArena, the Red Storm rose up to down its first ranked foe of the season with a61-58 victory over No. 20/18 Notre Dame.

Sandwich in Monday's 79-72 win over DePaul at Carnesecca Arena, and St.John's is now riding a three-game win streak, matching its two prior longestvictorious stretches this season. Per usual with a Steve Lavin team, with Marchon the near horizon, the Fresh Five appears to be playing its best basketball.

Freshman forward Moe Harkless scored 22 points with nine rebounds and class-mate D'Angelo Harrison added 15 for St. John's (13-16, 6-10). That wasn't sur-prising since Harrison (17.1) came into the game second among freshmen in thenation in scoring and Harkless (15.6) was seventh.

What was unexpected was that Amir Garrett, another of the five freshmenstarters, had 11 points, including the drive that gave the Red Storm the finalthree-point lead with 8.9 seconds to play. Notre Dame's last of 27 3-point miss-es was off at the buzzer, as the Irish finished 4-of-31 from beyond the arc.

Scott Martin and Jack Cooley both had 18 points for the Fighting Irish (20-9, 12-4), which had won a program-record nine straight conference games. AlexDragevich missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer for Notre Dame, which shot aseason-worst 12.9 percent from 3-point range. The Fighting Irish could havemoved into a tie for second place in the BIG EAST with No. 10 Marquette.

Harkless hit a 3-pointer that gave St. John's a 53-41 lead with 9:15 to play.Notre Dame went on an 11-2 run to get within 55-52 with 4:51 left. Eric Atkinscapped the run with a 3-pointer, Notre Dame's only one of the second half in14 attempts.

The Fighting Irish closed within one point twice in the final 1:28, but Harklessscored down low the first time and Garrett connected on the drive the secondtime.

A Greene 3-pointer helped bring the Red Storm backto within 12, 54-42, but a 3 by Gibbs extended the deficit to 20 before a J.J.Moore trey gave Pitt its largest lead of the game, 67-44, with 10:56 to play. St.John's countered with a run of its own as a Greene fastbreak layup capped a 9-0 rally that closed the margin to 13 points, 70-57. Greene later added a jumperto get the Red Storm within 12, but a 12-2 Pitt run made it an 86-64 game.
