St. John’s dispatches Rutgers, 84-65
St. John’s may have been undersized, but with a hot start and a lot of battle on the glass, the Red Storm spent the second half cruising to a xx-xx victory tonight in New Jersey to end the Gavitt Games.
The Big Ten still win the Gavitt Games challenge (five wins to three for the Big East), but behind Mustapha Heron (xx points) and LJ Figueroa xx points) the Big East ends with a resounding win
The worry coming into the game was that Rutgers’ size would be a defining factor, with Sedee Keita out with an injury. Rutgers came in shooting well over 40% from deep, and Loyola (MD) and Bowling Green had some success from the perimeter in in St. John’s first two games.
