Men’s Basketball Survives Crazy Summer
(Photo Courtesy/Athletic Communications)After St. John’s was ousted in the second round of the Big East Tournament last spring by Villanova, the biggest question surrounding the program was whether or not point guard Marcus LoVett would leave to play professionally.
By the time LoVett tweeted on April 1 that he would return to St. John’s, many other changes in Queens were already in the works.
Three days earlier, Darien Williams and Malik Ellison left the program. Williams is now a graduate transfer at Nevada, while Ellison will have to sit out a year and will have two more years of eligibility after transferring to Pitt.
