It was an Up and Down Season for St. John's
NEW YORK – It was a season of extremes for St. John’s.
The Johnnies went almost a month without a “W” dropping 11 in a row in the middle of the season.
Then in a span of less than two weeks, St. John’s stunned Duke and Villanova, both ranked at the time in the top 5 in the national polls, to open a four game winning streak.
The Johnnies kept up their strong play in the final days of the regular season, beating Butler in double overtime and losing to Seton Hall in overtime.
On Wednesday night St. John’s beat longtime rival Georgetown in an exhilarating 11 point throwback win to delight the hometown Madison Square Garden crowd on the opening night of the BIG EAST tournament presented by JEEP.
