The St. John’s Red Storm, led by coach Rick Pitino, are preparing for an important exhibition matchup against the seventh-ranked Michigan Wolverines this Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Following a somewhat rocky ten-point victory over Towson last week, the team aims to address key areas before the regular season begins in two weeks.
This upcoming game offers a valuable opportunity for the Red Storm to refine their strategies against Michigan, a formidable opponent. Notably, the Wolverines will feature Yaxel Lendeborg, a former St. John’s commit, adding an extra layer of intensity to the matchup as the teams battle for preseason momentum.
Fans wishing to engage with the game can follow live updates through Rumble in the Garden’s official social media accounts on X (formerly Twitter) at @rumbleSBN and on their new Bluesky account. Postgame analysis and recaps will also be available for those interested in insights beyond the final score.
The exhibition is scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 7 p.m., promising to be an exciting evening of basketball at one of the sport’s most iconic venues. With the season starting soon, this matchup could serve as a significant indicator of the Red Storm’s readiness for the challenges ahead.
