Joel Soriano and St. John’s 18 offensive rebound help the Red Storm escape Morgantown, West Virginia with a win against the Mountaineers, 79-73.
Feels like St. John’s just played West Virginia, but it has been nearly four years since the two teams last faced off at Madison Square Garden.
The Red Storm’s struggles at the rim continued against the Mountaineers. The Johnnies have been one of the worst teams in the country at the rim, coming into this one in the bottom 14% of Division 1 basketball shooting a paltry 55% at the rim. The average Division 1 school has a field goal percentage at the rim of over 62%.
