Red Storm Fall in Season Finale, 61-57
The shorthanded Red Storm were not able to grind out a win on the road over the Friars on Providence’s Senior Day, and fell 61-57.
With Shamorie Ponds out again with an abdominal strain and Kassoum Yakwe out with an illness, Amar Alibegovic got the start and walk-on sophomore Justin Cole received 10 minutes off the bench in his fifth game of the season. Simon played every minute again, but the Red Storm fell to 15-16 on the season and 4-14 in the Big East.
The first half got off to a choppy start with both St. John’s and Providence struggling to find their respective rhythms.
