“Last year was like a freshman team of skinny kids playing a varsity team”, a season ticket holder replied when asked for an assessment of St. John’s basketball program going into this exhibition game, the only one the Red Storm will play before kicking off the season a week from Friday. “We are New York and all the New York high school point guards go to other schools. I can’t remember when we had a real point guard at St. John’s”.
One thing St. John’s fans can believe in, after watching an exhilarating exhibition performance last night against a good division three team, Baruch College, is the possibility of not one but two capable point guards are on this year’s roster.
