Rick Pitino and the St. John’s basketball team are not hiding from anything this November.
After some bumps in the road during Pitino’s first two non-conference slates in Queens, he has put together a loaded slate for his program, which some have considered the preseason No. 1 squad in the nation.
The Red Storm head coach has called it the most difficult non-conference schedule in St. John's history.
After exhibition matchups against Townson and Michigan, it will not take long for the Johnnies to be tested with a November trip to the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas with a juicy date against Kentucky in Atlanta shortly after.
