After a solid trip to Orlando for the AdvoCare Invitational, the Red Storm return home for a bout with Sacred Heart.
The Pioneers commence what seems to be a tough December slate for St. John’s. Coach Chris Mullin’s unit will play Arizona State, Providence, Seton Hall, among others before the new year - and will be away from the cozy confines of Carnesecca Arena for much of the month.
With challenges against tougher teams in Phoenix, Los Angeles and in Connecticut, this game will be an easy matchup to overlook.
But in years past, the Red Storm have dropped non-conference to low-level teams; the Johnnies need to take this game seriously on the day when they honor legendary coach Joe Lapchick with a new statue.
