St. John's basketball fends off Ole Miss despite brutal offensive showing

The film will not be on display anytime soon at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, but the St. John’s basketball team won’t complain too much since it resulted in a much-needed victory.

The No. 23 Red Storm held off Ole Miss 63-58 inside Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, snapping a seven-game losing streak against SEC programs that dated back to 2012.

It started and finished ugly for the Johnnies (5-3), who connected on just 34.0-percent of its shots from the field and 18.2-percent from 3-point range – the lowest mark in both categories of the season.
