The first STJ basketball game of 2012 was a contest between our men's team and the Louisville Cardinals on Tuesday, January 3. This was exciting for me because it was the first game I'd been to where Madison Square Garden officially became our home court, as all the Garden games prior to it this season were part of special tournaments, and therefore MSG was considered neutral territory for them. It was exhilarating as the lights dimmed down and the arena thundered with excitement for our players to be introduced at the start of the game. Unfortunately, energy wasn't enough to beat ranked Louisville, which won over STJ with a final score of 73-58; however, the Pep Band still had a great time cheering on and playing for New York's Team, as always!

I thought it was so cool to see the St. John's logo and various video presentations on the MSG Jumbotron, for its home team! |
