It’s been that kind of a year in the Big East and, for that matter, in college basketball.
Despite St. John’s being without their top players Shamorie Ponds and Marcus LoVett, the Red Storm gave Seton Hall all they could handle on Sunday. The Pirates found a way to pull it out down the stretch and defeated St. John’s 75-70 in Newark.
Desi Rodriguez poured in 23 points including a floater with 18 seconds left to up to seal the Seton Hall victory.
“I had (Tariq) Owens on me so I cleared (my teammates) out,” Rodriguez said.
