St. John's Beats Syracuse Links/Articles

St. John's coach Steve Lavin said Red Storm defense vs. Syracuse was inspired by ninjas, Robin Hood

"We wanted to show their two big men two defenders on every catch, sometimes three," Lavin said. "Any time Christmas or McCullough http://www.syracuse.com/orangebaske...etball_2014-15_roster_chris_mccullough.html#0 got an offensive catch we wanted to swarm like bees on a honey bun, drop in like ninjas, kind of a Sherwood Forest thing. I think we were able to do that, be aggressive dropping in there, because they're struggling from the 3-point line. If they miss then we have three, four bodies to negate their ability to get on the backboards."

I'm glad we won. I'll leave it at that.
