No. 12 St. John's passes 1st test of big week with victory over No. 11 Marquette

It's been a long time since St. John's enjoyed this much success, and energized fans are starting to feel it. It was a rousing start to a measuring-stick week for Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino's streaking team, which maintained sole possession of first place in the conference and improved to 1-1 against ranked opponents this season. Up next is a visit Friday night to No. 19 UConn, the two-time defending national champion.
