Game thread: St. John's at Seton Hall Pirates

St. John's travels to Newark at noon to face off against the Seton Hall Pirates, a team coming off of three straight losses - but three losses, all on the road, in six days. That scheduling quirk may have played a factor in their play, including the 30-point blowout at Villanova.

Will the Hall come out fired up?

Or will St. John's eight point underdogs, find the weak point of Seton Hall and exploit it for a road win?

St. John's has had some decent performances against good teams. Will they bring their best today or wilt on the road?

How will Marcus LoVett, Shamotie Ponds and Malik Ellison play? Which other players will step up to help?
