The No. 2 St. John’s men’s basketball team did not come to play around on Thursday when they matched a program record by earning its 31st victory of the season after taking down No. 15 Omaha, 83-53, in an NCAA Tournament first-round matchup at Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence.

Despite the blowout, it was a close game in the first half. Omaha found themselves down just three points at one time.

However, a three-pointer for St. John’s would extend that lead to eight.

Unfortunately, a cameraman would go live to the Red Storm’s bench area and accidentally catch an offensive moment that is sure to get one of their players in huge trouble.

Right after knocking down a three-pointer, a player who was on the ground near the bench began mocking the action of shooting a gun as he let off many rounds before the camera switched back to the floor.

In last Saturday’s Big East Championship Game against Creighton, St. John’s star RJ Luis Jr. stole the show with one of the best performances of his career.

Unfortunately, he dampened the moment a bit when he was also involved in a bit of controversy.

Luis Jr. hit a three-point shot to extend St. John’s lead, but then he got a technical foul for a gesture he made with his hands as he celebrated getting back on defense.

Luis Jr. made a gun gesture.

Gus Johnson and Jim Jackson, who were on the call of the game, thought it was a bit overblown to give the St. John’s star a technical.

“Ah, he got a tech right there for what he did,” said Jackson.

“What did he do?” replied Johnson.

“When he came down and gave the signal after he made the three-point shot,” added Jackson.
