St. John’s vs. Princeton final score: Red Storm pulls away late to improve to a 9-0 record

When watching St. John’s basketball games this season, the question seems to always be, “How are they going to get out of this one?”

They’ve fought their way back from double digit deficits. They’ve overcome slow starts. They’ve also managed to fight off late-game rallies from opponents. Princeton was relentless and St. John’s defense didn’t seem to have an answer.

Although the Red Storm forced 13 first half turnovers and at one point had a 15-3 run that made it seem like the beginnings of a blowout, the Tigers strung together three-pointer after three-pointer and stayed within reach.
