Hinkle Fieldhouse has not been friendly. St. John’s has lost by 24, 20 and 23 in the past three seasons at Hinkle.
Last year, St. John’s gave up 100 points, Chris Mullin picked up another technical foul, and the Johnnies took a revenge punch on the chin from the Butler Bulldogs in Indianapolis.
This season, the 0-9 (in the Big East) Red Storm travel to Indy for their first matchup against the Butler Way, facing new coach LaVall Jordan for the first time.
All of that considered, no time like the present for a win, am I right?
