Keys to the season for each team

2. St. John's: consistent scoring. The additions of Omari Lawrence, Dwight Hardy and Malik Stith should add another dimension to the Red Storm offense and the return of Anthony Mason Jr. (out with a hamstring injury) is a bonus. The preseason trip to Canada showed off the variety of options at Norm Roberts' disposal. But with many of those pieces remaining the same, improvement on the offensive end is a must if St. John's is to contend for an NCAA and/or NIT berth.

No love for Evans, Burrell or Brownlee.

I think Burrell and/or Evans can beat out Pope, Mitchell and McAllister by the time season is done.  Also interesting to see not one big man on the 1st team.

And I'm sorry, I don't csre how off he was last year, LIU doesn't have a player better than 80% of our team. And Seton Hall's for that matter.

I agree. Wisseh put up #'s barely better than Boothe.
In a much easier league. & Boothe was injured.

Jio Fontan and Wes Jenkins should be on 2nd team. No Scott Machado?

Jio Fontan lead his Rams to a 3 win season. What is that worth?

Fontan would be starting on Rutgers and St Johns

  My intent wasn't to bash ST.John's.  But the fact that you say a guard on 3 win Fordham team would start for St.John's speaks volumes.  I'm sure he's a good player.  But there is also a reason he's in the MAAC  and not the Big east.

Hes in the Atlantic 10

 I stand corrected.

I stand corrected.

Scott Machado is in the MAAC. Remember the name

Scott Machado? He's no Tarik Kirksay.
