The 11-game losing streak and wins over nationally-ranked teams were products of team unity and psychology.
The St. John’s University men’s basketball team started off the 2017-18 season with a bang. Their 10-2 record was the program’s second-best start to a season in 32 years.
But their success was fleeting. The team eventually spiraled into an 11-game losing streak, putting them in last place in the Big East.
They were not able to win a game for six weeks. The team always knew its potential, but getting all the parts to come together was something they struggled with.
