Kentucky shouldn’t be surprised by how St. John’s will approach Saturday’s matchup in Atlanta. The Red Storm plays a style of basketball that Mark Pope‘s group has already seen a couple of times this season.
Rick Pitino loves a physical brand of hoops, and that’s exactly what he has with this St. John’s crew. They attack the offensive glass relentlessly and run a significant amount of their offense through their bigs. If that sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly what Kentucky faced in losses to North Carolina and Gonzaga earlier this season.
