The Marquette Golden Eagles will look to turn the page after losing to the UCONN Huskies at home on Saturday night by a final score of 77-69. With that game in the past, they will be next on the road against the St. John’s Red Storm.
That game on Tuesday will tip-off at 5:30 p.m. CT on the road and it will be televised on FS1. This is the biggest game of the season for the Golden Eagles and this is also the biggest game for the Red Storm in quite some time. It is a big week for St. John’s because, after Marquette, they will face the UCONN Huskies.
Marquette Golden Eagles Head Coach Shaka Smart Makes Statement About Upcoming Matchup Against the St. John’s Red Storm
Marquette head coach Shaka Smart talked about the upcoming matchup against the Red Storm after the loss against the UCONN Huskies. Smart said to the media:
“They’re playing better than anyone in our conference, they’ve got a heck of a coach, a heck of our roster. It’s gonna be a great challenge for us.”
This season, Marquette has an 18-4 record and a 9-2 record in Big East Conference play. As for St. John’s, they have a 19-3 record and a 10-1 in Big East Conference play. There is a great chance that Rick Pitino is the Coach Of the Year in the Big East Conference. Some thought that the Red Storm could make the NCAA Tournament this season in college basketball, but they have been impressive and could be very dangerous.
Red Storm’s Last Game
St. John’s won against the Providence Friars at Madison Square Garden on Saturday in the final seconds by a final score of 68-66. Kadary Richmond was the best player on the floor in that game for St. John’s. He scored 24 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and recorded eight assists.
It is going to be interesting to see what happens between the Golden Eagles and the Red Storm. Marquette split with St. John’s a season ago. This will be another tough road game for Shaka Smart and the Marquette Golden Eagles. If the St. John’s Red Storm and Rick Pitino win this game on Tuesday night, they will become one of the most talked about teams in college basketball if they haven’t been yet.
