After Joel Soriano led the Johnnies to a huge second half on Thursday to beat Nebraska, St. John’s will play a tough Temple Owls squad tonight. The game is part of the 2022 Empire Classic, a two-day, four team early season tournament played at the Barclays Center.
The other Empire Classic matchup being played tonight is between Syracuse and Richmond, and the winners and losers of both of today’s games will face off tomorrow night.
The Red Storm had their third straight game with a bad first half, and maybe had their worst one of all as they trailed 27-20 to Nebraska at the break, going 0-10 from three in the half with 10 turnovers.
