St. John’s Gives Up 14-Points Lead, Loses in Overtime to Marquette 72-70

After St. John’s gave away a double-digit lead to open the second half, the Johnnies lost in a dogfight in overtime, 72-70, and their season is quite possibly over.

After the Red Storm nearly stole the game late at Marquette on Saturday, the Johnnies made their move much earlier in this one.

Marquette’s defensive strategy appeared to be don’t let Joel Soriano win this game. Offensively, Soriano struggled to get the ball, and when he did get it he tried to do too much with it. As such, the big man finished the half with only 1 points (0-2 FG), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 turnovers.
