St. John’s Athletics held their annual Tip-Off event Friday, Oct. 21 at Carnesecca Arena in front of a meager crowd. Fans were treated to a night consisting of performances, contests, player introductions, an intrasquad scrimmage and a musical performance by BLXST, a BET nominated performer from Los Angeles.

Students were given the opportunity to obtain tickets at 9 a.m. Friday morning, with some students getting there as early as 6 a.m. to make sure they were one of the first people to get their tickets.
