Shooters cold for second straight game, but guards efficient in the paint
St. John’s played without the grit and intensity that defined their identity in their first two wins of the season for the better part of 30 minutes. They found it in the final ten with a small lineup that forced defensive pressure in order to turn the tables Tuesday night and secure the 76-70 victory versus St. Francis Brooklyn.
St. John’s head coach Mike Anderson was in uncharted territory for the second consecutive game without his two primary ball handlers, Posh Alexander (lower leg strain) and Rafael Pinzon (finger).
