The St. John’s Red Storm dropped their fifth game in a row on Tuesday night to the lowly Delaware State Hornets, 79-72.
In what was a less than memorable performance, the Johnnies led for merely 46 seconds in the 40-minute contest as they took a bewildering loss to one of the worst teams in Division 1. Entering the game, Delaware State was ranked 341st out of 351 teams on KenPom.com, and the Johnnies were projected to win by 20 with a 97 percent win probability.
Bashir Ahmed led all scorers with 19 points. Shamorie Ponds, Marcus LoVett and Federico Mussini each dipped into double figures, scoring 15, 13 and 11 points respectively.
