St. John’s holds off Rider, 82-79
Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports It was a tough one Tuesday night for St. John’s as they played host to the Rider Broncs in their final nonconference game for this season. On paper, it should not have been a close one. St. John’s were rolling into this one fresh off of a 89-66 win over Stony Brook and were came into the night as a 19 1⁄2 point favorite over the Broncs. Instead we got a game that went the distance, as Rider lived up to their team name coming close to an upset, as St. John’s struggled to find their rhythm for much of the game, but in the end falling short as St. John’s went on an 11-2 run in the final minutes of the game to seal a 82-79 win for the Red Storm.
