Johnnies 6-0! Bring on Duke! [NY Post]
« on: December 03, 2009, 08:43:57 AM »
With 1:16 left in last night's 63-55 win over Stony Brook that wasn't nearly as close as the final score would indicate, the St. John's student section began a chant of, "We want Duke! We Want Duke!"

"It was cool," Red Storm power forward Justin Burrell said of the Carnesecca Arena chants. "We definitely got a chance to beat them."

Burrell is correct. The Red Storm, 6-0 for the first time since 1994-95, has a tough, deep and athletic team that will not back down from fifth-ranked Duke or the Cameron Crazies on Saturday.

But the Red Storm has no chance of upsetting the Blue Devils (6-1, after last night's 73-69 loss at Wisconsin) if St. John's star players don't play well.
