St. John’s Falls in Dramatic Fashion in Big East Opener

In front of a raucous crowd in Newark, Seton Hall edged the Red Storm

The Prudential Center was rocking Saturday night as the St. John’s Men’s Basketball team took on Seton Hall to open up their Big East schedule. Amidst the hype and the hoopla, both teams didn’t disappoint as fans were on the edge of their seats right down to the final seconds, with the Pirates pulling out a 76-74 victory after a second half surge.

The Red Storm led for most of the game thanks to Mustapha Heron, who dropped 19 points, as well as a pair of 16 point performances from Justin Simon and Marvin Clark II.
