Will St. John’s benefit from Ismael Sanogo’s absence?

Coming off of two overtime games in a row (more on this in the game preview to be posted later today), the Seton Hall Pirates announced that forward Ismael Sonogo, a 6’8”, 215 pound junior from Newark, won’t be in uniform against the St. John’s Red Storm tomorrow.
