St. John’s Big East Media Day odds & ends
As we head into the thick of exhibitions and fall practices, here is a recap of our Big East Media Day coverage:
The coaches voted St. John’s as sixth in the league; but with only four points separating the Johnnies, Marquette and the Butler Bulldogs. The middle of the league will be competitive.
St. John’s landed two players on the second team All Big East: Marcus LoVett and Shamorie Ponds. Can the Red Storm get another player on an all-league team? Maybe, with players like Bashir Ahmed who could make a serious impact.
On the women’s side, despite four years of 20-win seasons and an All Big East player in Akina Wellere, the coaches chose Joe Tartamella’s squad to finish seventh in the league.
