A look back on a downer of a road loss for the developing Red Storm.
It was a long, ugly game. It ended with a 100-59 loss to the Creighton Bluejays on their senior day, where St. John's gave up 53 points in the first half, scoring 24. Promising freshman Kassoum Yakwe struggled, going scoreless, picking up two second-half rebounds and committing three turnovers and four fouls.
The team shot 3/17 from beyond the arc, allowed Creighton to rebound 46% of their few misses and 83% of St. John's errant shots.
On another night, we could discuss the 10/19 (53%) free throw shooting, or give props to the 19 turnovers forced (25% of Creighton possessions) or discuss the positive turnover numbers (11, 14% of the team's possessions).
