St. John's Men's Basketball team played its highly anticipated game against UCLA on Saturday, February 18, at Madison Square Garden. This was exciting because it was broadcast on national TV (on CBS), so we got to see a few more cameras and lights around than usual, before the game began. That day, RedZone students were given 'Go Johnnies' signs to cheer on their team, and I had brought my 'God'sgift to STJ Basketball' sign to The Garden for the first time, so we had a lot of fun cheering.
It was an exciting game all around. During one of the time outs, St. John's wished Pep Band director Kevin Vail a happy birthday, with a sign on the 'Garden Vision' jumbotron, as his birthday was the next day. The Johnnies went into halftime leading 35-30 with a free throw percentage of 100, so needless to say, we had happy spirits as we enjoyed the K-9 Crew Frisbee dog team halftime show (which happened to be the best halftime show I've seen yet-- hands down!). The Johnnies came back strong as the game resumed, and they ended up winning, 66-63, making this their first win I witnessed at MSG! Words could not express my excitement and joy over this major achievement!
