For one game, everything was better, and last year’s struggles faded into the rear view for Chris Mullin and St. John’s.
With an explosive effort on offense coming from the guards, St. John’s blew out the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats by a score of 100-53. The Red Storm’s largest margin of victory last year was a 22-point win over Maryland-Baltimore County, and even the likes of Wagner, Niagara and Division II Chaminade were struggles.
Not tonight, as the team looked decent from the outset and sharp once the bench guards set foot on the floor.
The Red Storm started slow, looking to Bashir Ahmed, whose shots were not falling early.
