MBK Sleeper Team of the Month: St. John’s

St. John's is making waves in college basketball, proving to be a real contender as the season approaches March Madness. Under Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino, the Red Storm have risen to the top of the Big East with a 20-3 record, their finest start since 1985-86. St. John's has blended spectacular offense with smothering defense, allowing only 61.4 points per game since December 31. Standout performances have come from RJ Luis Jr. and Kadary Richmond. Following a statement win against Marquette, they now face Creighton in a vital conference showdown.
