The Johnnies (2-1) will face off against NCAA powerhouse Michigan State (2-2) in the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis [see our tournament preview for more information]. This will be St. Johns first-ever appearance in the Battle 4 Atlantis and this will only be the third meeting between these two programs and the first since 1979.
Especially with both teams led by youth and athleticism, there’s a good chance that this will be a fairly fun game to watch, if St. John’s can impose some fast break offense on the Spartans, while not giving up too much on the other end.
