St. John’s races past St. Francis, 86-52
Wendell CruzSt. John’s dispatched the St. Francis Terriers fairly handily, despite some more choppy play, by the score of 86-52 tonight at Carnesecca Arena. The Red Storm improve to 11-0, with a Saturday night matchup against Sacred Heart to come before facing Seton Hall in New Jersey on December 29th.
The game opened with an offensive rebound by St. Francis, a three and then... two and a half minutes of misses for the Johnnies.
But a 10-0 run doubled up the Terriers, and the Red Storm upped the lead to as many as 13 in the half, despite St. Francis’ eight offensive rebounds, St. John’s eight turnovers and Mustapha Heron’s early two fouls.
