It felt glorious to many fans when the St. John’s Red Storm started the season 10-2 going into Big East play. Over here in the Rumble staff “room” (if you will, in conversations with the writers), it was exciting to cover a team that might be a fringe NCAA team, the rise of a program.
It’s not even a month later since the Saint Joseph’s game, but the ship of the season has hit rocks in shallow water. Every game feels like a leak getting bigger, though the team has been competitive in all of their games (save, perhaps, the Providence opener).
