The St. John’s Red Storm are clearly a better team this season than what they were last year. They have already exceeded last season’s win total (8) with nine so far.
They’ve had some impressive wins such as the 33 point blowout win over their old Big East foe in Syracuse at the Carrier Dome and followed that up with an upset victory over then No. 13 ranked Butler to kick off Big East play.
They have some bright newcomers who’ve made a big impact this season in freshman guards Marcus LoVett, Shamorie Ponds and also junior college transfer in Bashir Ahmed.
