Tomorrow, St. John’s has their biggest non-conference challenge of the season when they face the Kansas Jayhawks, one of the best teams in the country who are currently ranked 8th in the AP Poll.
The matchup between the Johnnies and Jayhawks is part of the third annual Big East-Big 12 Battle, and is also the first ever college basketball game being played in UBS Arena, the New York Islanders’ new arena that is located in Elmont, New York.
The Red Storm had a dominant first two games against a couple of weak opponents, but since then have looked very inconsistent, losing to Indiana and scraping out struggle wins against three bad teams, most recently an overtime win against NJIT.
