St. John’s takes down No. 1 Villanova 79-75
A wise man once said, “In a year that’s been so improbable, the impossible has happened.”
That quote hits home for the St. John’s Red Storm now, as they’ve now defeated two of the most prominent teams in college basketball in consecutive games. First, it was the Duke Blue Devils at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. Now, four days later, it’s the No. 1-ranked Villanova Wildcats.
Despite facing the tall task of taking on Jalen Brunson and the ‘Cats in Philadelphia, Shamorie Ponds and the Red Storm rose to the occasion. The Johnnies unseated the Wildcats from the top of the Big East and perhaps the top of the nation as well with their 79-75 upset victory.
