The weekend of December 17-18 was a big one for both St. John's basketball teams. On Saturday, the 17th, the women's team hosted part 1 of the St. John's Chartwells Holiday Classic, home at Carnesecca Arena. The first game of the day was between STJ and Prarie View A&M, and that ended in a win for St. John's, with the final score being 66-50. Afterwards, the women's teams of La Tech and Memphis faced each other to see who would be playing the winning STJ team the next day; the Memphis team earned this opportunity. Meanwhile, that day, at Madison Square Garden, our St. John's Men's basketball team played in the Madison Square Garden Holiday Festival against Fordham University, achieving their first MSG win for the season, with a final score of 56-50. The next day, the women's game against Memphis ended in STJ's favor as well, with a final score of 64-60. With three wins in two days, I'd say St. John's fans got an early triple Christmas present; Santa, who was present at the women's games to festively greet fans, must have seen them being very good this year.
