No. 13 St. John's secured an 87-74 victory over No. 7 Texas in their final preseason exhibition game at Madison Square Garden. The win serves as a significant momentum builder for the Red Storm ahead of their regular season opener on November 2.

St. John's was led by Keyshawn Hall, who scored 24 points, and Tounde Yessoufou, who contributed 23 points. The team's performance was characterized by strong ball movement, recording 19 assists, and defensive pressure that turned 16 Texas turnovers into 20 points.

Texas, led by coach Sean Miller, saw Isaiah Johnson score 18 points in the loss. Despite the result, Texas's highly-rated freshman class showed flashes of impact, though the team struggled defensively in the paint against the Red Storm.
