St. John's Students Storm Tip-Off [JohnnyJungle.com]

The skies opened up last night, and while no rain was in sight, the storm was felt all throughout Queens.
An electric atmosphere, hours prior to St. John’s Midnight Madness even started was kinetically flowing across campus. Over 300 students were waiting in line for their Tip-Off tickets two hours before they went on sale.

What a difference a year makes. The decision to move Midnight Madness from Taffner Field House to Carnesecca Arena proved to be the right choice as over 2,000 more Red Storm students, alumni, and fans than a year ago were in attendance for a night no one would forget.
An event like this is all about the fans and support, because it literally is a prelude to the season and what everyone can expect.

“Man I’m excited,” said senior forward Justin Burrell before Tip-Off kicked off. “Seeing all these fans showing all this support, it’s really great.”

great to see so many students out in support. I think eventually the whole sideline will be filled with students in red as opposed to each baseline.

I think that amounts to like 30% of the kid's on campus but I could be wrong.

i heard it was fun as hell. i couldnt make it because of work but the staff and fratto and his staff did a outstanding job. i rushed home an caught it on espnu. next year its gonna be crazy. hopefully one day in the near future they can do it in msg and shut down college ball. my only beef was the musical guess. ron browz hasnt been hot since 2 summers. i understand the school does have certain rules but this is new york we can get at least another 2000- 3000 people in the building bassed on the musical act alone. i think some of the alumni can help with fundraising for this aspect alone. but other wise great job fellas

Since I can see you are aware of obstacles the staff had in finding a musical guest, knowing those 'rules' who would you have recommended if you had the chance?

I laughed out loud when I saw this, but he actually still plays a lot of shows.
