Great two game stretch for them. But the closer you look at St. John's schedule, the amazing thing appears to be that they hadn't won a conference game to this point.
They played a pretty weak non-conference schedule, but only suffered losses to decent Missouri and Arizona State teams.
As for the Big East, they have a slew of single digit losses:
Seton Hall by 5
Creighton by 7
Georgetown by 3
Villanova by 7
Xavier by 6
Georgetown by 4
Creighton by 5
Xavier by 5
They are clearly better than their record.
