In the team’s second game, St. John’s hopes to keep the aggressive, running style from the first win — a blowout of Loyola Maryland — going.
But the second game is a sneaky-tough contest against a MAC team with size, experience and depth, the kind of game that will require the Red Storm to play sharply, shoot efficiently, and avoid fouls.
The Bowling Green Falcons could be a barometer for how well the Johnnies deal with size and paint play this season.
Both teams are 1-0 on the season. For St. John’s, this second game precedes a week-long break before the Battle of the Outerbridge Crossing against Rutgers next Friday.
