St. John’s and Auburn Clash in High-Stakes Showdown: Who Will Sink the Most Buckets?

St. John's and Auburn Clash in High-Stakes Showdown: Who Will Sink the Most Buckets?

St. John’s entered the season with high expectations, but through six games, they have definitely not lived up to those expectations. They are just 4-2 for the season, and to be honest, I’m a bit concerned about how good this team actually is. I know that will bother my guy, Geoff Clark, who is an alumnus, but I’m not liking this early season version of St. John’s. Their first lost of the season was a respectable loss, falling to Alabama, but the problem I have with it is two-fold: One, their defense was phenomenal last year, and they allowed 103 points to an Alabama team that should’ve just been trying to figure out who would be their scoring threat after losing Mark Sears. The other problem that I have is that they were the home team. Early in the season, that’s a huge advantage. Hell, it is a huge advantage late in the season, and they couldn’t capitalize. Their next loss came earlier this week in the tournament as they dropped a game to Iowa State, also a respectable opponent. It was a one-point loss, so it wasn’t like it was ugly or anything, but they gave up the lead late and couldn’t get the stop and score they needed to take the final lead.
