A nice effort from the Red Storm

The Johnnies fell in Tucson after UA had a late run, but for a team that only played 7 deep (including 4 frosh, a soph, and 2 jrs), that was a nice effort to stay in the game till the end. Particularly in a very hostile arena against a ranked team. One they can build on.

Edit: While SJU was the "away" team, the game was in the Coaches-vs-Cancer classic at MSG, not in Tucson as I had presumed. So actually, a home game for SJU. Takes a little luster off the effort.

Nice game against Ok St. this afternoon. This is definitely a team that will be a contender as the players mature.

As mentioned earlier, the thing that kills them is free throw shooting. Lavin's got to drill that in. SJU hasn't had a good free throw shooting team in forever.

Good news: Amir Garrett will be eligible for the Johnnies in January, according to Tweets by Evan Daniels today.
