So much went against the plan in this game, but a late surge powered a St. John’s win in Storrs for the first time since 2000 by the score of 74-70.
“We saw some adversity [in this game] and made plays,” St. John’s Mike Anderson said. “We’ve been in so many close games games where we were right in it to win it.”
“Brutal loss,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said after the game. “Credit St. John’s. They were so competitive, they were tougher than us.”
St. John’s improves to 8-7 with the upset over ranked UConn, and 3-6 in Big East play.
