The now-scrambling Johnnies wasted away yet another opportunity
•
On a quest to redeem their narrow Dec. 24 loss at then-No. 7 UConn, St. John’s were once again unable to take down the basketball Goliath that is the Huskies. Much like the first meeting, Dan Hurley’s crew was left short-handed, as sophomore forward Alex Caraban was ruled out prior to tip-off with an ankle injury. The 77-64 loss at Madison Square Garden was the latest blemish on the Red Storm’s tournament hopes, making them losers in five of their last six contests.
