Northwestern vs. St. John's Recap

Well, the 'Cats finally lost. NU was defended well by an athletic St. John's team using a man-to-man defense, and the 'Cats' zone could not keep the Red Storm out of the post. Northwestern particularly struggled in the second half, being outscored 48-29. Luka looked completely overmatched, despite 12 rebounds, scoring only 2 points. St. John's shot 60.8% from the field and 50.0% from the arc, while Northwestern was at only 41.0 and 37.0. St. John's is clearly a very good, highly athletic team who has simply underachieved up to this point; however, the 'Cats will no doubt face tougher tests in the Big 10 and absolutely must improve.
