Since these teams first met in early January, St. John’s has staged a bit of a revival, and after a win over Georgetown on Saturday they’re 7-9 in the Big East. That puts them right behind the four-way tie of teams in fourth place (Marquette, Xavier, Providence and Seton Hall, who are all 8-8), poised to make a giant leap if they can find a way to win their final two games. Even if the most likely scenario is for them to finish 8th, the vibe around Chris Mullin’s program is vastly different than it was two months ago — they’re trending up, and there’s excitement surrounding them again.
