On a chilly day in Providence, Rhode Island the St. John’s Red Storm fell to their conference rival, the Providence Friars, before a crowd of nearly 10,000. Despite leading by as much as seven in the second half, the Red Storm ultimately fell by a score of 83-73.
The loss marked the Johnnies’ first loss in Big East play and their second on the road this season. The only other road game St. John’s has played this season was at Indiana, although five of their next seven games will be played away from home.
