This Big East matchup features the St. John’s Red Storm and the Providence Friars.
The last time these teams met was earlier this month. Providence won this game on the road by a score of 71-56 and will be looking for a season sweep this time around.
St. John’s Red Storm
The Red Storm got a huge win over Villanova this past weekend after trailing for most of the game. That win gives them a 7-6 Big East record and puts them in third place in the conference. Now they must extend their win streak to three games when they rematch the second worst team in the conference.
The Red Storm have overall been able to score the ball effectively all year long. They are averaging just under 80 points per game, which ranks them as the 46th best scoring offense in the country. Shamorie Ponds is the leading scorer for the Red Storm and is averaging 20.1 points per game. Ponds had one of his worst performances against Villanova over the weekend, but his teammates were able to step up and lead St. John’s to a monster comeback. Look for Ponds to bounce back and have a much better performance this time around.

The Red Storm are allowing 73.2 points per game this season, which ranks them at 227th in the country. Coming down the stretch, they will need to play much tighter, especially when defending their opponents from the field. Their opponents shoot an average of 42.4% which is 99th in the country. Luckily for them, Providence is not playing well at all right now, which should give the Red Storm the opportunity to take advantage.
Providence Friars
The Friars have now lost two games in a row and they are 1-5 in their last six. This has put them in a precarious situation as they are 4-9 in conference play and sit in 9th in the Big East.
The Friars offense has really struggled recently and have only scored 70 points once in their last six games. The game they scored 70 was actually when they played the Red Storm and beat them on the road. Alpha Diallo is clearly the leading scorer for the Friars and will need to play much better if the Friars are going to complete the sweep over St. John’s. In the first meeting with the Red Storm, Diallo had just 10 points on 3-12 shooting so look for him to have a much better performance on his home floor.

Overall the Friars have played very good defense, allowing 69.7 points per game this season. However, in their last two games, which were both losses, they allowed an average of 80 points per game. The Friars did an amazing job slowing down the Red Storm earlier this season, when they allowed just 56 points to them. If they are going to complete the season sweep, containing Shamorie Ponds is an absolute must.
