If Tuesday’s rousing rout of Baylor was a step in the right direction, then Wednesday was a major step back for St. John's basketball team. The Red Storm faced off against the No. 21-ranked Auburn Tigers in a highly anticipated matchup during the tournament in Las Vegas. Unfortunately for St. John's, the game did not go as planned, resulting in a disappointing loss that ended their run in the tournament.

Auburn showcased their strength and skill, dominating the game from the outset. St. John's struggled to find their rhythm, with turnovers and missed opportunities hampering their efforts throughout the contest. The team’s defense was unable to contain Auburn's offensive onslaught, leading to a significant gap on the scoreboard.

Despite the setback, the Red Storm will look to regroup and reflect on lessons learned during the tournament. The coaching staff will undoubtedly analyze the performance to identify areas for improvement as they prepare for upcoming challenges in the season. Fans remain hopeful that the team can bounce back and regain their momentum in future games.
