Last night, the Red Storm got some revenge on the Marquette Golden Eagles - who knocked off St. John’s in the Big East Tournament on the same floor - in a performance to remember.
In the 86-72 defeat of Marquette on Wednesday night, St. John’s got a balanced performance, a hint of what the team could be if they can impose the same defensive will on opponents and get the same balanced scoring.
Playing their second game in four days at the World’s Most Famous Arena, the Johnnies were coming off a tough 82-77 loss to #24 Xavier on Sunday evening, a performance that included ongoing issues - poor 3-point shooting down the stretch and their inability to out-rebound Big East opponents.
