Three takeaways: St. Johns comes from 11 down to overcome Bowling Green

As Mustapha Heron stepped to the line with :01 left to play to ice the game for St. John’s, a nine year old fan, confusing the college game with a pro game, asked “Is this the end of the third quarter?”

Of course it was not, but the young man may have had a point; last night’s close, nerve-wracking 84-80 win over Bowling Green certainly had three segments.

Segment One: In the first five minutes, St. John’s jumped out to a 16-7 lead. Bowling Green turnovers, good ball movement, and Marvin Clark’s three point shooting triggered the early offensive explosion.
