Well, maybe it’s better to follow up the home loss to Seton Hall at Carnesecca Arena with a game at South Florida. The weather’s nicer, there are fewer hometown distractions and one of the Red Storm’s 10 road wins in Norm Roberts’ stewardship happened in comeback fashion at the Sun Dome.
But unlike the Bulls of old, South Florida is unlikely to cooperate with their role as the league’s 98-pound weakling. In fact, South Florida is one of the best stories in the Big East, a team rising to competitiveness from nothing.
According to the NY Post, there will be some punishment for St. John’s starters DJ Kennedy and Sean Evans for their role in a post-game altercation after the Seton Hall loss. I assume they will play, but one never knows how harsh a punishment might be announced with an athletic administration so concerned with the “culture†of the program (i.e., not looking thuggish).
Whatever the punishment is, and whoever plays, the game won’t be easy. Can the Red Storm put a damper on South Florida’s aspirations?
