In response to dperry
I caught the second half of the game and it appeared that the St. John's players really seemed to physically intimidate the Quakers. To Parker and Nwokedi's credit, they were able to get 18 points and 11 rebounds between them in the last 2 quarters.
They really needed FT or three pointers to help out, and just could not get either (1-6 from three and 3-8 from the line in the 2nd half). Another big issue was bench play. Despite only going 2 deep, the Red Storm got 9 points from Hoppie and Adams. Penn, meanwhile, only got 2 points from Kinum, Brzozowski, Aghayere, Grasela and Crawford.
The low 3 PT shooting and limited bench production were two problems they often faced against good competition this year. These are two things to work on for next year, if they want to challenge Princeton for the top spot.
