St. John’s dropped its second meeting of the year versus the defending national champions. Villanova defeated St. John’s 92-79 at the Wells Fargo Center. A 14-0 run from St. John’s helped trim the margin, but the early and large deficits were the story of the game.
This game seemed over from the start as St. John’s failed to show any sign of early life. The Red Storm started the game 0-for-12 from the floor, failing to score for the first 7 and a half minutes of the game. Perhaps the epitome of St. John’s offense was the air-balled, wide-open, midrange jumper?
