Back in mid-December, St. John's picked apart Syracuse's 2-3 zone and knocked down 12-threes on their way to shocking victory at Madison Square Garden over a team that was just a few weeks removed from finishing first in the Battle 4 Atlantis. The Johnnies were riding high and had two winnable games against Incarnate Word and NJIT on deck, but the season quickly took a difficult (but expected) turn.
Nearly two months later, the Johnnies have lost 15-games in a row and have yet to record a Big East Conference victory. And with just six match-ups remaining (Villanova, DePaul twice, Creighton, Seton Hall and Providence), the regular season is quickly coming to a close.
