The 2010–11 St. John's Red Storm men's basketball team represented St. John's University during the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

Saint John's home games were played at Carnesecca Arena and Madison Square Garden and the team is a member of the Big East Conference.

They received an at-large bid in the 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament where they lost in the first round to Gonzaga.

Season

St. John's, a former Big East and national power, had fallen on tough times in recent seasons. This year, the Red Storm (17-9, 9-5 Big East) have made a habit out of knocking off highly ranked teams, with wins over Duke, Notre Dame, Connecticut, Georgetown, and Pittsburgh,[4] all top-15 teams.[5]

The Red Storm are looking for their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2002.[6] After defeating then #4 Pittsburgh on February 19, all 63 participating brackets in The Bracket Project placed the Red Storm comfortably within the NCAA Tournament.[7]

The Red Storm also achieved their first Top 25 ranking in over a decade. The last time the Red Storm had previously been ranked was on November 28, 2000.[8] On February 21, the Red Storm were ranked #23 in the AP Poll and #25 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.[9] They reached as high as #15 in both the AP Poll and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll on February 28 following their road win against Villanova.[10]
