The St. John’s Men’s Basketball team, to put it simply, looked lost and ineffective during the first half against Nebraska on Thursday night at Carnesecca Arena. It was a tale of two halves, as the Johnnies completely turned their play around enroute to a 70-50 win versus their first high-major opponent this season.

Both teams started out slow offensively, creating a low-scoring affair for much of the first half.
