The morning after Seton Hall: by the numbers
Wendell CruzSt. John’s lost to Seton Hall last night and the ending — it was... a bad referee call. The Johnnies gave up a lead that was between 9 and 11 for much of the half, then got the lead back on late game free throws from Mustapha Heron, and then... this...
Yes, the Johnnies tapped the ball back and got the steal with 3 seconds. Yes, the referree blew a whistle while Figueroa was in the air. No, it was not reviewable. Yes, Seton Hall inserted a fresh player who sank the winning three. Yes, lots of people are waking up still angry.
