St. John's Grabs Crucial Win at Marquette
Marvin Clark II, Shamorie Ponds and Justin Simon helped St. John's get a big win at Marquette.This was a couple of weeks ago, when St. John’s was sitting at 3-4 in the BIG EAST after a loss to Butler on Jan. 19. The Johnnies’ three conference wins had them bunched together in the league standings with a plethora of other three-win programs and the question was put to Red Storm head coach Chris Mullin about whether it was time to start building some momentum and how important it was to start pulling away in the league as February approached.
“At some point you’re looking to make separation,” Mullin said. “You got to go game-by game, but that’s really where our focus is.”
