Small miscues were the difference in St. John’s loss to Providence, 83-80.
Two teams on two different streams came into this one. St. John’s brought in their four-game losing streak to matchup with Providence and their eight-game winning streak.
The revolving door of available players continued in this one. Rafael Pinzon and Andre Curbelo were both available off the bench, but Montez Mathis was out with a toe injury.
As has been the case as of late, St. John’s looked good in the first half. Posh Alexander exceeded his season scoring average (9.2 PPG) in the first six minutes of the game, and finished the game with 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3PT) even knocking down a couple of threes.
