They will get their 2nd leading scorer back after missing the last game in Rysheed Jordan. These 2 are combining for over 34 points this season and the Wildcats will have to play solid perimeter D, as these players are both guards.
The Wildcats’ G duo of Sterling Gibbs and Khadeen Carrington combined for 37 points in the last loss while leading scorer G Darrun Hilliard II was held to 14 points.
Both teams have solid backcourts and one key for Villanova is getting good play from F JayVaughn Pinkston and Ryan Arcidiacono, who struggled in the Seton Hall game after scoring 31 in his previous 2 games.
Villanova has won 5 straight facing St. John’s.
While the Red Storm are led by guard play they are the worst 3-pointing team in the Big East while the Wildcats are legit from behind the arc with the 2nd best 3-pt FG% in the conference. They have to shoot the rock well from deep, as they lost the Seton Hall game only hitting on 2 of their 15 3-pointers.
[dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
This season St. John’s is 0-1 facing ranked teams while Villanova is 2-0.
