St. John’s dropped another opportunity for a signature win at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Jan. 22nd when the team’s star players were unable to conquer Seton Hall’s size advantage, eventually losing 66-60.

Despite a slow start through the air from both teams, St. John’s jumped out to an early 8-0 lead backed by key defensive plays and rebounds. Joel Soriano was ready to play against seven-footer Ike Obiagu, who is one of the premier shot-blockers in the Big East.
