St. Johns 57 NJIT 49

For many years I have gone to college basketball games at Hofstra, Queens College, And LIU Post.  For logistical reasons it is difficult to attend games at NJIT.  The mid-week games end very late and it would be difficult for me to get home as the trains run less often.  It is tough enough to commute to Newark 5 days a week; thus I don't want to have to travel a 6th day for a basketball game.  Today the NJIT played the St. John's University Red Storm at nearby Carnesecca Arena in Jamaica.  I was able to get tickets from the Athletics office and sat in a section with about 20 NJIT students who made the trip from Newark.

The Highlanders started off well as they were ahead 35-23 at the end of the first half.  They fell apart in the second half as St. John's won 57-49
