It was a sluggish start, a first half that was worrisome. Okay defense but a lack of energy on offense. Then a halftime pep talk from Coach Pitino woke up the Johnnies who cruised to a 96-73 win over Quinnipiac. We're joined by Kevin Connelly of StormthePaint.com to recap the win and what we all took away from a disjointed performance. Ultimately, the Red Storm ended up on the right side of the scoreboard and there are plenty of positives to take away.

St. John's kicked off their season playing the Fordham Rams for the 91st time in program history, and they left no doubt. A dominating 92-60 win, that allowed Rick Pitino to empty the bench and showcased a ferocious offense. In front of a Sold Out Carnesecca Arena, St. John's kicked off it's season with a bang. Simeon Wilcher had a career high 17 and Kadary Richmond did what he does, stuff the stat sheet.
