St. John’s basketball uses its defense to get a victory against Butler.

All victories are pleasing at this point in the season for St. John’s basketball team, even if it’s not ascetically pleasing to the eye.

Coming off its failed comeback bid against No. 22 DePaul, the Red Storm (6-11, 3-8 Big East) made the trip to Indianapolis to battle the Butler Bulldogs.

Like St. John’s, Butler (1-14, 1-13 Big East) has endured its struggles last season and the Bulldogs were the last team the Johnnies picked up a victory against this season.
