The Big East polls came out last month for the upcoming season.
The St. John’s Red Storm, who finished last season at a dismal 1-17 in Big East play a season ago, was picked to finish in ninth place in the conference in 2017 (second to last).
After how they fared last season, it should be understandable to see why St. John’s would be picked to finish pretty low again.
This season could be a struggle as well, as head coach Chris Mullin will be going through his second year as the team’s leader on a young squad.
