St. John’s vs. Duke isn’t as lopsided as it might look on paper.
Sam Blum of The Athletic joined Peter Schwartz to break it down, and the formula is simple — defense, tempo, and ex*****on.
Duke can score with anyone, but St. John’s has the kind of defense that can change a game. Force tough shots, control the pace, and knock down threes… and this becomes very real.
They’ll need a strong night from Zuby and contributions across the board, but this isn’t a David vs. Goliath situation.
St. John’s can win this game.
And with a strong fan presence expected in DC, don’t be surprised if it feels like a home crowd.
