Following an impressive victory over Syracuse, St. John’s showed their ugly side again.
The Red Storm were crushed by former Division II school Incarnate Word, 73-51, at Carnesecca Arena Friday night. The Johnnies snapped their three-game win streak and were out-classed in a number of ways to a Cardinals team that lost to Our Lady of the Lake earlier this season.
“Bottom line. They wanted it more than us,” Durand Johnson said. “They beat us in every aspect of the game, loose balls, rebounds, they hit shots. You name it.”
With a light crowd on hand, the Red Storm came out of the gates with very little intensity, energy and discipline, especially on the offensive end where they lacked rhythm and couldn’t find a second scorer to help Sima.
