As St. John’s gets closer to the Big East Tournament and the spectacle that is March Madness, the team has gotten some solid contributions from guards Stef Smith and Tareq Coburn — even as the usual suspects have been inconsistent for Mike Anderson’s team.

In the Wednesday loss against Creighton, Smith chimed in with 13 points in 19 minutes (and as some noted, could have been used down the stretch).
