St. John’s ran away from the Binghamton Bearcats (final score: 77-61) behind a fast start and a second-half surge.
The slow start of the first two games was not repeated this evening as St. John’s went to Bashir Ahmed at the onset and he responded with four points. A relatively close first half found St. John’s leading at the intermission 39-32 with a Kassoum Yakwe jam off a Marcus LoVett miss at the buzzer extending the margin to seven.
The second half started well with a LoVett three and, a short time later, a Shamorie Ponds steal leading to a breakaway dunk.
