Three takeaways: St. John’s vs Molloy - Simon, defense, offensive boards
St. John’s defeated the Molloy Lions, 71-43, in a game that was a bit closer than it should have been, against an exhibition-quality opponent.
For friends of St. John’s University the highlight of the first half may very well have been the powerful and moving rendition of the national anthem by graduate student, Renae Hart (we think that was her name?).
For the men’s basketball team there was lots of movement, but also careless play in the first half; and the game that could have been powerful statement and warm up against the Division II Molloy Lions was clearly missing.
First Half
The game began positively for the Red Storm: a Justin Simon steal, deflected to a diving Marcus LoVett.
