Finally some Hoya basketball after an 8 day break. Hoyas come back ranked 20th in the nation. Grudge match against St. John's who beat the Hoyas 61-58 earlier this month. Steve Lavin coached a great game for the Johnnies exploiting physical matchup problems & the Hoyas never adjusted.
St. John's comes into this game struggling though. Having loss 4 out of their last 5 games & in those 4 losses they loss by an average margin of 14.
Hoyas started off a dismal 1-4 in the big east but coming off 2 much needed victories over Rutgers & Seton Hall.
5 Keys to the game
1. Austin Freeman. Got to get a nice shooting night out of Austin...Hoyas are 8-1 when Austin scores over 20.
2. On Ball Defense...Dwight Hardy lit Jason Clark up at the end of the game last time with his penetration. Not to mention a scrub like Jordan Theodore for Seton Hall getting by our guards at will. This has been a constant problem this year.
3. Accountability...If someone on the bench is giving the team more than one of our starters tonight, then JTIII has to coach "by feel" & give that guy on the bench more time.
4. Hollis Thompson...Get him more shots...you gotta find him, Hollis is money when left alone.
5. Chris Wright & Jason Clark...we need Chris to make better decisions & we need Jason to find his shot.
Lets go Hoyas!
