St. John’s has been consistently inconsistent up to this point of the season, and nothing changed on Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. The Red Storm escaped with a 63-56 victory over St. Francis-Brooklyn, and nothing was pretty about it.
“Tonight wasn’t a pretty game, but we will learn from it,” St. John’s head coach Chris Mullin said. “It’s nice to win. But there’s a lot of stuff we need to do better.”
The game marked the first time that Mullin has coached at Madison Square Garden since he took the reigns of the program. The contest also was the first time many of the Red Storm players have ever played on the floor at the World’s Most Famous Arena.
