Today, the St. John’s Red Storm takes on the NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) Highlanders at home.
The Johnnies look to improve on some recent sluggish performances in wins against Fairleigh Dickinson and St. Francis Brooklyn. NJIT comes from the America East Conference, and should be more of a challenge than the NEC opponents that the Red Storm have recently played... the Highlanders recently defeated the FDU Knights.
On Tuesday against St. Francis Brooklyn, the Red Storm were without arguably their best two ball handlers, Posh Alexander and Rafael Pinzon. If one or both of those players is able to come back against the Highlanders, that would provide a big boost to the Johnnies offense, allowing them to get up and down the floor quicker.
