Last week was first time since March that the team played a whole week without facing a Big East opponent.
St. John’s may have needed the break. The Johnnies were trying to rebound from getting swept by Georgetown last week, losses that brought the Red Storm into the bottom half of the league standings.
But the Johnnies split the games, setting up a critical seven-game stretch against the league’s leader and two local rivals.
Last week began at home against Iona for a game before travelling to Fairleigh Dickinson for a game to wrap up the season series.
