At this time last year, in what turned out to be the best St. John’s season since the 1999-2000 campaign, the Red Storm trailed Quinnipiac at halftime at Carnesecca Arena.
A few weeks later, they went 1-2 during a disappointing trip to the Bahamas that featured late-game shortcomings.
Why the history lesson, you may ask?
Consider it a reminder for those who forgot: Last season wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine. There were issues that really weren’t ironed out until January. St. John’s wasn’t a lockdown defensive team in November, despite the revisionist history I’ve seen on social media. Kadary Richmond, the big transfer portal addition, didn’t find his game until the new year.
