For many St. John's basketball fans, Sunday's 66-63 loss to Georgia feels like the same old Johnnies. We unpack the data and see a team that's performing at an elite level.
For many St. John’s basketball fans, Sunday’s 66-63 loss to Georgia feels like the same old Johnnies. But the numbers tell a different story. The flood of analytics might look like alphabet soup — offSCC%, defMR%, EFG%, and more jargon that could make your head spin. But unpack these numbers and they reveal a team that’s performing at an elite level, even if the 5-2 record doesn’t show it.
Context matters too. The team played three tough games in less than seven days – and a beatdown of Virginia,. Despite this challenging schedule, they still showed their potential by beating Virginia more convincingly than Tennessee did. Perri says “that kind of matters.” What does all this mean for St. John’s season? The numbers suggest they’re built to contend for third place in the Big East, which typically means a tournament bid. More importantly, they look like a team that could be dangerous once they’re there.
