The Wildcats' offense was non-existent

Before facing Villanova on Friday night, St. John's had won two straight after losing five straight. The Red Storm are ranked 79 in the latest Net Rankings, so they have a long way to go to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Their home loss to Villanova was 57-49. It was St. John's defense that held the Wildcats to just 37% shooting from the field. However, the Red Storm only made 32% of their total shots, including 25% (3 of 12) from long range. The team also committed 17 turnovers. Red Storm leader Joel Soriano scored 14 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. A toe injury has forced Montez Mathis (9.6 points per game, 40.5% three-pointers) to miss the remainder of the season. As a result, he has not played since Jan. 3 and his defensive skills are likely to be lost. A.J. Storr will start, despite averaging just 6.4 points on 48.5% shooting (45.7% from three). With 16.4 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks on 61.1% shooting, Soriano leads St. John's.
