It’s becoming the same old story for the St. John’s basketball team and it’s getting old quickly.
For the fifth time this season the Johnnies squandered a second half lead and lost a game they should have won, yet this one was much more impactful than the other four as the Red Storm dropped a game at home to Providence, 77-71.
As stands in the NET rankings, it’s a Quad 3 loss, and the third time this year St. John’s (9-5, 2-1 Big East) has lost a game while leading by double digits.
The Red Storm were in front by nine, 64-55, with 6:32 remaining as Providence (8-6, 1-2 Big East) ripped off an 8-0 run to get within a point yet Zuby Ejiofor and Oziyah Sellers pushed the Red Storm lead to five, 68-63, with 3:19 left.
