St. John’s defeats VCU in a Legends Classic Thriller
Nicole Sweet-USA TODAY SportsIt was only fitting that Tuesday night’s contest between the St. John’s Red Storm and VCU Rams was the Legends Classic championship game. The game had a championship feel to it as both came to play, and the game turned into an instant classic. In the end, St. John’s won a hard fought victory in overtime by a score of 87 to 86 with Shamorie Ponds getting the final and emphatic two points to give the Red Storm the win.
For a game in November this game felt more like a game in March as it was hotly contested from the onset. Both teams came to play tonight and both were prepared to go the distance and the distance they went.
