The St. John's Red Storm had a slow start to their first round game against Omaha in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. The No. 2 seed fell behind 7–0 before Rick Pitino was forced to call a timeout just over three minutes into the game.
Fortunately for the Johnnies they were eventually able to get the offense going and went on a 16–2 run later in the half. After a Simeon Wilcher three gave them a 28-22 lead, CBS showed one of the players on the bench laying on the floor pretending to be a sniper.
