No. 13 St. John’s dominated No. 7 Texas in its final exhibition game, showed a bold identity and appeared more developed than expected for this time of year. Coach Rick Pitino called the performance a “quantum leap.” @NewsdaySports story: newsday.com/sports/college/s…. #sjubb
Final at the Garden: No. 13 St. John's 87, No. 7 Texas 74 (exh.): Hall had 24, Yessoufou 23 and Jackson 18. Ellis has seven assists and no turnovers. Edema played well. Storm looks ready to start the regular season. #sjubb
St. John's up on Texas 78-63 with 4:02 to play. Storm is shooting 53% from the floor (26-for-42 on two-point shots; 4-for-15 on threes). #sjubb
St. John's is plus-28 in the paint and leads 73-57 with 6:40 to play. Hall is very hard to stop near the basket and has 20 points on 7-for-11 shooting. #sjubb
St. John's still up on Texas 67-52 with 10:56 left. Storm has committed a slew of fouls and Longhorns have taken 13 free throws already. Edema and Bailey both have four and Prey three. #sjubb
St. John's Ian Jackson has played 19 minutes so far and, during them, the Storm has outscored Texas by 26. Storm leads 58-36 with 16:00 to play. #sjubb
One week ago, Rick Pitino said his team wasn't ready for this game and that St. John's could lose by 40. Must have been a heck of a week of practice, eh Rick? #sjubb
Halftime at the Garden: No. 13 St. John's 49, No. 7 Texas 31: Yessoufou has 16, Jackson 14 and Hall 11. #sjubb
St. John's looks better through 4:44 against Texas than through any stretch last weekend against Rutgers. Leads 15-9 with free throws coming and has three steals. #sjubb
No. 13 St. John's starting five v. No. 7 Texas at the Garden: Ellis, Jackson, Prey, Yessoufou and Hall. TV: MSG Network. #sjubb
Some Texas-St. John's pre-game reading:

COLUMN: IN a new season, has St. John's gone from having 'a problem at point guard' to 'a problem at center?' Rick Pitino may already have the workaround. Plus items about the Storm and UBS Arena talking and recruiting. From @NewsdaySports: newsday.com/sports/columnist…. #sjubb

COLUMN (from the cover below): A winning culture gets handed down and St. John’s coach Rick Pitino says he hasn’t seen it yet with this group. It’s on Jackson, Prey and Liotopoulos to carry it forward.
