St. John’s basketball was able to overcome a slow start to defeat Stony Brook.

Following its first loss of the season in its last outing, the St. John’s basketball team was sleep walking in the opening 15 minutes against Stony Brook (1-2), before Mike Anderson woke his team up.

“I was anxious to see how we responded, and they threw the first punch. But our guys hung in there and had a nice run right before halftime. They played real well, got really engaged defensively and just tried to create some havoc,” Anderson said calling the first ten minutes, a BYU “hangover”.
