St. John’s at Marquette: preview, how to watch
Despite being 11 days between games, we can assume nothing about Marquette at home, desperate for a win to keep NCAA hopes alive, missing a key player and still smarting from giving up 44 points to one guy.
Because the fact is that Marquette was putting pressure on St. John’s all game. Pride, and being at home, will be factors. And St. John’s needed an exemplary performance at home to pull off a win against the high-scoring Big East team from Milwaukee.
Can St. John’s do it again? Can St. John’s keep the streak, and the improbable hope of an NCAA Tournament berth alive? Can Ponds carry the team one more time? Can the defense stop the Golden Eagles’ high-powered scoring?
