If they hadn't intended to understand it again, they would be cursed. St. John's recovered from a double-digit deficit, throwing a blinding defence blanket at another opponent, and finding another way to win and get back on the bus based on Will and work ethic. If that's bad.
But they were. Here, Simeon Wilcher was making three pointers for less than 30 minutes left in the game. Here St. John's was 11 years old and suddenly, once, he had to go up 71-70 and get one stop to win the 11th game. And if you have one team in all of college basketball, I feel it's good to stop when it's absolutely necessary. Who is that team?
Throughout the season it was St. John's.
Except now, the market's desperate team to save miracles, Villanova Wildcats worked the ball furiously. I was bleeding for a second. Johnny tried to get to the front of the ball but couldn't. The ball landed in Tyler Perkins's hand, probably 23 feet from the basket.
