Robert Morris will be traveling to St. John's University for the first round of the NIT. The game is Tuesday and will start at 7 p.m. airing on ESPNU. The game will be played at St. John's campus site Carnesecca Arena and not at Madison Square Garden. This will be the first matchup between these two programs.
St. John's is a pretty big team. They do not have a player listed at under 6-2 and will start two players at 6-9. The Johnnies are first in block percentage, per KenPom, and 21 in total defensive efficiency. The star of St. John's is guard D'Angelo Harrison, who averages 17.1 points per game on shooting splits of 38.6/36.5/86.1.
We'll break down this matchup more tomorrow, but this is going to be a difficult one against a big, athletic team.
