St. John’s basketball Twitter touchy after big loss

Nothing wrong with that, I believe. In a 40-minute basketball game, 19 points qualifies, barely, as a blowout. Maybe some editorial discretion was taken there, but nothing to get upset over.

@espnnewyork Hey headline writer, maybe take it easy, huh? Watch the game. #stjbb
