After another strong start, St. John’s stumbled in the second half and lost to Marquette, 96-85.
While the blowout loss to Seton Hall might have suggested the shake-up to the starting lineup with the insertion of Dylan Addae-Wusu and O’Mar Stanley was a failure. However, Coach Mike Anderson kept those two in the starting lineup, reinserted David Jones, and had Posh Alexander come off the bench.
Adding to the musical chairs that is the Red Storm rotation, Andre Curbelo was not available tonight due to “not adhering to team standards.” Rafael Pinzon was a gametime decision due to an illness that had seemingly kept him sidelined since the Florida State game and played briefly in the final minute of the contest.
