St. John's will face a rejuvenated St. Thomas team--well, twice, in January and February. But, for now, the Johnnies just keep rolling along at 3-0, still the favorite to repeat in the MIAC. I won't say they made easy work of it at St. Mary's, who came into the game at 2-1 in the conference and led 12-8 at 12:35 of the 1st. But the Johnnies responded with a 35-15 run to put it away. It was 46-30 at the half, 87-70 at the final buzzer.
They did it with an exhibition of superior 2-point shooting--34-of-46 (74 percent). The only thing that kept it from getting ridiculous was they also shot just 2-of-15 from long range.
6-5 junior post Ethan Novacinski (St. Cloud Apollo) came off the bench to make 9-of-11 shots in the 1st half and 4-of-4 in the 2nd for 29 points, and added 7 boards and 3 assists. Jubie Alade added 18 points and David Stokman 14.
Player of the Day--Ethan Novacinski
Team of the Day--St. John's
Coach of the Day--Pat McKenzie, St. John's
