This week, St. John’s travels to Orlando for the Advocare Invitational Tournament, run by the ESPN Networks. Orlando will not just be a place for humidity and rollercoasters for the Johnnies - it is a land of opportunity with serious pitfalls for Chris Mullin’s team available in the three-day tournament.
The bracket has one surefire top-tier team: the West Virginia Mountaineers. Some of the other programs are competent, but outside of the possibility of Missouri becoming a much better side in the coming months, the Red Storm will want to go at least 2-1 in this tournament to start getting excited about postseason play in March.
