A major test awaits the St. John’s basketball program on Monday evening.
Two games against mid-majors are in the rearview mirror for the St. John’s basketball (2-0) program but the Johnnies now await its first true tests.
Yes, a comeback win over St. Peter’s provided the young squad with a challenge, but now power conference opponents await the Red Storm, first with the Boston College Eagles (1-1) inside “Bubbleville” at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
Boston College took No. 3 Villanova to the brink of an upset on opening night, but couldn’t solve the Wildcats down the stretch, ultimately falling 76-67, but responded with a 69-64 victory over Rhode Island.
