Main Story

St. John’s hosts Marquette on Saturday in its final regular-season home game, with BIG EAST Tournament hopes at stake. The Red Storm enter with eight conference points after a dramatic 3-2 comeback win over UConn; nine points could be enough to reach a tiebreaker for the tournament’s final berth. Marquette arrives after a 4-0 win over DePaul, led by a potent attack.

By the Numbers
  • St. John’s scored three goals in the final eight minutes against UConn, including the winner with just over four seconds left.
  • The Red Storm have eight BIG EAST points; nine could put them in contention for a tiebreaker.
  • Marquette’s Tomiwa Adewumi has nine goals, while Mads Konrad Horgoien has eight.
  • The teams’ all-time series is tied at 5-5-3.
Yes, But

St. John’s has momentum, but its tournament position remains precarious: the final two spots go to the highest-point teams outside the two division winners, and the Red Storm still have work to do. Marquette’s high-scoring attack presents a significant challenge.

State of Play
  • Saturday is St. John’s final home game of the regular season; the team closes at Providence on Nov. 6.
  • The BIG EAST Tournament is scheduled for Nov. 12 and 15 in Boyds, Maryland.
  • St. John’s will honor graduate defender Ivar Na Aga before kickoff for Senior Night.
What's Next

A win over Marquette could strengthen St. John’s postseason case before its finale at Providence. The Red Storm will need to keep collecting points and monitor the standings as the tournament field takes shape.

Bottom Line

Saturday is more than a home finale: it’s a pivotal chance for St. John’s to turn its last-second comeback into a postseason push.
