NEW YORK _ St. John's was Dr. Jekyll when it left the Garden on Wednesday night after beating DePaul. It was Mr. Hyde when it returned Thursday for its quarterfinal meeting with Marquette.
The Red Storm has been the definition of inconsistent; they haven't won two straight since Jan. 5. St. John's looked stellar in its Big East Tournament opener. It was abysmal as second-seeded, 23rd-ranked Marquette trounced the Storm, 86-54, before a sellout crowd of 19,812. It was St. John's most lopsided loss of the season.
"Tonight we just let it go a little bit," Justin Simon said.
