The St. John’s Men’s Basketball team snapped their two-game winning streak in conference play with a crushing 57-49 loss against Villanova on Friday, Jan. 20 in Madison Square Garden.

Despite playing close with a Villanova team that has shown weakness throughout the early season, the Johnnies were unable to close out the contest in front of a fervent Red Storm fanbase.“Our students and fans showed up in numbers,” head coach Mike Anderson said in a postgame media conference.
