The St. John’s Women’s Basketball team is back in the NCAA tournament for the 11th time in program history and the first time since 2016.
The Red Storm will take on Purdue in Columbus, Ohio in Thursday’s play-in game. The winner will claim the 11-seed and play the University of North Carolina on Saturday.
The last time and only time St. John’s played Purdue was in 2018, when the team beat the Boilermakers 68-62 in the Paradise Classic.
“I think it’s going to be a great challenge. It’s March. You can’t underestimate anybody, just like they can’t underestimate us,” redshirt senior guard Jayla Everett said.
