With a chance to pull off an upset against their rival and earn their first win since mid-December, the St. John’s men’s basketball team took a trip across the Hudson River to face the Seton Hall Pirates on Wednesday night.
The end result was not what the Johnnies hoped for as the Pirates dominated the paint and had more physicality on the glass on their way to a 79-60 victory over Chris Mullin’s squad at the Prudential Center.
“It’s been frustrating,” Mullin said following the game. “They killed us on the boards. We went zone to try to keep them from hurting us in dribble penetration but they really crashed the boards.
