So. About last night...
St. John’s took a loss on the chin against the Kansas Jayhawks at the new UBS Arena [continuing the whole “home team has never won at UBS Arena narrative”].
Facts: Kansas is a top-10 team. Also facts: few people expected St. John’s to lose by that kind of deficit.
St. John’s fell behind double digits early and re-dug their hole late, and it’s not dissimilar to the hole the Red Storm dug against Indiana or St. Francis NY.
The hope this year was that this team, though new, would have fewer lapses in judgements this season than last year’s newcomers (in particular) had.
