One of the biggest reasons why the St. John’s basketball program had the top ranked transfer class in the country was because of its additions in the backcourt, but things are still a work in progress for the Red Storm.
After allowing 103 points last week against Alabama, which was spearheaded by its guards, the Johnnies are hoping a week off and extended practice time will help its guards gel faster.
Head coach Rick Pitino mentioned again on Friday that he believes one of the biggest differences in St. John’s loss to the Crimson Tide was that their guards have played together for multiple years while the Red Storm’s have only been with each other for a few months.
