Good news, Marquette men’s basketball fans, it is now impossible to see St. John’s again until December 2023 at the absolute earliest.
Marquette needed 45 minutes at Madison Square Garden to finally find their way past St. John’s in the first of four Big East tournament quarterfinal contests, but they finally figured out a way to do it and picked up the overtime victory, 72-70. Shaka Smart’s team advances to Friday’s tournament semifinals, marking their first appearance there since 2019.
There was A LOT of this game, and I don’t just mean that it went to overtime and we got more than a regulation sized basketball game.
