According to Jon Rothstein of FanRag Sports, St. John’s will play the Saint Joseph’s Hawks at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. This contest is set for December 20th as part of a doubleheader with Providence and Houston. Official times have yet to be determined.
Saint Joseph’s has the looks of a top tier team in the Atlantic-10. They return their top scorer in Shavar Newkirk. He averaged 20 points per contest up until his ACL injury in late December. In addition, the Hawks brought back fellow guard Lamarr Kimble. He averaged about 16 points per contest before suffering from a season-ending fracture in his left foot.
