D.J. Kennedy put up a season-high 20 points off the bench and St. John’s (5-1) scored 21 points off 21 Wagner turnovers to win its fifth straight, 69-61. “We left 14 potential points from the charity stripe that were wasted and we were 3-of-17 from long range. We have to improve in those two areas as well as our execution, which I think could have been more crisp. It was different things throughout the game,” said St. John’s head coach Steve Lavin. “But the good news is we found a way to win, and considering the alternative, that’s a positive and we’ll take it.” Justin Brownlee scored 17 points, grabbed six boards, dished two assists and snatched a pair of steals. Dwight Hardy, who struggled from the field at 2-of-7 but made all five of his free throws, was the only other Red Storm player in double-figures with 10 points. Tyler Murray led Dan Hurley’s Wagner club (3-3) with 21 points. And like ZAGS on Facebook.
