The St. John’s Men’s Basketball team made a key halftime adjustment to top Central Connecticut State University, 91-74, enroute to a third-straight win Tuesday, Nov. 15. A switch from man to zone defense stifled the Blue Devils’ offense, allowing the Johnnies to lead by as many as 24 points late in the second half.

The victory was a true team effort, with ten St. John’s players scoring points and four players finishing in double figures.
