After a grueling road trip that took St. John’s over two bridges, into the middle of New Jersey, and all the way over to Fort Greene, near that faraway land where Chris Mullin grew up, the Red Storm, thankfully, get to play a game at home against the sharp-taloned Hawks of Maryland Eastern Shore.
For high-major teams, this is the kind of game that allows a team to sharpen its attack. This is also the kind of game where players sometimes lose a bit of attention and forget that the ball will go in the basket if you leave a Division I player open.
