The nation was rife with holiday spirit.
The multi-billion dollar Powerball jackpot was at a paltry $80 million.
St. John's picked up a big victory at Madison Square Garden over the Syracuse Orange. It was the seventh win of the season for the Red Storm, and spirits were bright. Surely with games coming up against Incarnate Word and NJIT, the Red Storm would be able to continue their three-game winning streak, correct?
The Red Storm lost both of those games. Then, lost to South Carolina to close out nonconference play.
