It’s not how the the team starts. It’s how the team responds.
Led by Julian Champagnie, bench players Dylan Addae-Wusu and Marcellus Earlington, and a hot second half, St. John’s finished Big East play with a 81-71 win over Seton Hall. St. John’s ends the regular season at 16-10, 10-9 in the Big East.
The winning record in league play is the team’s first since 2014-15. And the Red Storm skip the Wednesday first round games and get the fifth seed in the Big East Tournament; they begin play on Thursday at 3 PM.
