Madison Square Garden is home to St. John's for a number of regular season games during the year.
Yet, when Syracuse is in town, it may seem like the exact opposite.
Up 20 with under ten minutes remaining, Syracuse guard Michael Carter-Williams pushed in transition, attacking St. John's forward God's Gift Achiuwa on the break.
Just a freshman, Carter-Williams went right at Achiuwa, throwing down an aggressive slam on the Johnnies' big man.
Carter-Williams, who provides yet another example of the incredible depth on this Syracuse squad, finished the game with 13 points, five assists, and four rebounds off the bench.
Take a look at Carter-Williams' slam from at MSG:
