St. John’s basketball could not respond from its most recent loss at home against Marquette.
After a lopsided loss against No. 19 DePaul on __, the St. John’s basketball program looked to respond against Marquette at home on Sunday afternoon.
The two teams traded punches for a majority of the afternoon, but the Red Storm could not respond in the fourth quarter and solve the Golden Eagles’ defense.
Marquette would hold the Johnnies to just 12 points in the final ten minutes, outscoring St. John’s by eight points and moving on to win, 72-61.
