It’s no secret that the St. John’s basketball team struggled against the size, physicality, and athleticism of Arkansas last season during its NCAA Tournament loss and one of the biggest adjustments it made in the offseason was adding Dillon Mitchell.
Mitchell is everything that the Johnnies were lacking a year ago with his size, frame, motor, and athletic ability. He’s already proven that he can make an impact against good teams but Saturday’s tilt with Kentucky is a different beast.
The Wildcats can throw body after body at St. John’s with one player seemingly having more athleticism than the previous.
