Winning against Villanova didn't mean St. John's had a credible answer for Providence the second time around once again, Providence made St. John’s play slow, and St. John’s got behind fast, losing 78-59.
It is about a three hour drive between St. John’s and Providence, and the trip back to Queens will likely feel a lot longer than that.
The Red Storm fall to 7-7 in conference and 19-8 overall, while Providence improves to 5-9 in conference and 15-12 overall. St. John’s heads back to the Garden to take on the Pirates of Seton Hall on Saturday night.
