NEW YORK -- In the midst of the worst losing streak in school history, St. John's showed fight in its 10th straight loss.

Trailing by 20 early in the second half, the Red Storm rallied to within three in the final minute before falling 78-73 to Marquette on Sunday.

"I thought it was a great effort," first-year coach Chris Mullin said. "The first half was pretty sluggish both ways. (We) came out like zombies to start the second half and we didn't give up. ... Was proud of the way they played in the second half. More importantly, they didn't give up, made some good things happen.
