NEW YORK -- It's hard to put too much credence in St. John's 66-56 win over Georgia in Wednesday's SEC/Big East Invitational. The rebuilding Bulldogs are very much a work in progress under first-year coach Mark Fox.
Dwight Hardy's 12 points led a balanced St. John's attack Wednesday night.
But there is no arguing the Red Storm are better. They have better players -- and that's without Anthony Mason Jr., who has yet to return from an injury -- and they just play better. St. John's broke open a flat-out ugly game in the second half, upping the tempo on offense and containing Georgia's best player, Trey Thompkins, who had only four of his 19 points in the second half. Most impressive, St. John's shared the wealth, putting 10 players in the scoring column.
