No one is going to confuse the 46 turnover epic that was Thursday night’s contest between Marquette Golden Eagles and St. John’s for the best basketball game ever played.
Thankfully, the Golden Eagles overcame 27 turnovers of their own and letting the Red Storm rally from down 13 to prevail in overtime, 74-72. Marquette moves to 1-0 and a share of the Big East lead on the opening night of league play, while St. John’s stumbles to 0-1 to start the slate.
That’s not a typo, by the way. The two teams committed a combined 46 turnovers in a 45 minute game.
