Did St. John’s turn a corner this weekend?
In a season of ups and downs, the St. John’s Red Storm (9-11, 3-4 Big East) hoped to begin a two game homestand last Saturday with a monumental upset over the #3 Villanova Wildcats in front of a packed crowd at “The World’s Most Famous Arena.”
However, Villanova’s experienced roster was too much for the Red Storm to handle, as the Johnnies lost their fourth straight game by the score of 70-57.
Fortunately, the Red Storm were able to bounce back with a much-needed 78-68 win over DePaul on Monday, in front of a sellout crowd at Carnesecca Arena - led offensively by Malik Ellison, who scored a career-high 23 points.
