“It’s James:” Slater sparks Villanova to 57-49 win over St. John’s at Madison Square Garden

Villanova is no stranger to Madison Square Garden and over the years, it has gotten some clutch play from its seniors.

While it wasn’t a pretty game, Villanova head coach Kyle Neptune was happy to see his Wildcats grind out another victory, this time a 57-49 win over St. John’s to complete the regular season series sweep. He shared his praises for his team and a certain individual.

“It was awesome,” Neptune said. “The last couple of games, I think Jimmy has come to his own. He’s really been good for us, and it’s not really just the scoring, it’s really defensively.
