Even though they are playing better, I'm still in the camp that we won't win a game in the Big East unless it's one of those night we shoot abnormally well from three point range coupled with the opponent shooting abnormally poor from three point range.
They are giving a great effort every night but one area they aren't getting better in is FT%. They are actually getting worse.
Here is what St. John's team FT% was for the season after each game:
Wagner 60.00%
UMBC 69.05%
Rutgers 63.64%
Vandy 67.05%
Indiana 66.96%
Chaminade 68.31%
Fordham 69.01%
St. Francis 70.59%
Niagara 69.15%
Syracuse 68.33%
IW 67.52%
NJIT 65.67%
South Carolina 63.73%
Creighton 63.69%
Providence 64.01%
Xavier 64.43%
Marquette 64.50%
Can't win close games unless they bring that up.
