The first month of the season has not been as productive for the St. John’s basketball team as they would have liked, seeing its Associated Press Top 25 ranking drop from No. 5 to No. 23 after the most recent poll was released on Monday afternoon.
The Johnnies (4-3) have also held spots at No. 13 and No. 14 through five weeks.
The Red Storm are coming off a 1-2 week in Las Vegas at the Players Era Championship, losing to then No. 15 Iowa State and No. 21 Auburn with its lone win against Baylor.
