College basketball season won’t start until next month but St. John’s students and fans will get to see their squad play earlier.

With college basketball season nearly approaching, the St. John’s Red Storm will host their annual Red Storm Tip-Off on Friday, October 14 at 7 p.m. ET at Carnesecca Arena on the Queens Campus.

Both the St. John’s men’s and women’s basketball squad will be introduced to the fans in attendance and the two teams will compete in a number of on-court exhibitions on the court.

In addition, there will be a performance from hip-hop artist Desiigner to start the night.

Fans will also get to win a number of prizes and receive giveaways from St. John’s and their corporate partners.

Tickets for this event are free and it’s a first come, first served basis.

Even though it’s just an exhibition event, the Red Storm Tip-Off is always a great way to start the season and get fans pumped up for their Red Storm.
