So you know how St. John’s was hoping for a potential at-large berth to the NCAA tournament? Well, unless they expand it to 96 this year, that’s not happening … and probably not even then. The worst cut came last night, as the Red Storm lost to Rutgers. That hurts. How much does it hurt when you lose to Rutgers? Here’s what forward Justin Burrell said: “I wish I could figure out a stronger word than ‘disbelief.’ ‘Flabbergasted’ maybe. It’s the worst loss of my sports career ever. I played football, soccer, basketball and this one hurts more than anything.” Yeah, that’s a bad loss. The Red Storm are now 12–9, 2–7 in the Big East. But, hey: Syracuse is good. There’s that.
