As we approach the final month of Big East Conference play, St. John's has yet to earn a win despite remaining competitive against quality opponents like Creighton, Xavier (twice), Providence and Marquette (twice). On paper a 13-game losing streak is poor, but in reality, the improvement and growth has reflected positively on the coaching staff, the players' work ethic and the future of the program.
The Red Storm's best offensive performance of the season nearly ended in a shocking victory at the Cintas Center against Xavier on Wednesday, so it wouldn't be surprising if this group broke through soon.
