The Seahawks looked truly terrible against Rutgers a week ago in a game I watched, and I don't expect that to change tonight against St. John's (57th in defensive efficiency, per KenPo). Wagner ranks 325th in offensive efficiency and is 358th in tempo. It was 330th in offensive efficiency and 361st in tempo last season, so this isn't a small sample size, either.

St. John's has already had tune-up games against Fordham and Quinnipiac, blowing out both squads. Will they be looking past Wagner with New Mexico (Rick Pitino's son's team) up next and Baylor and Georgia after that? I don't anticipate the Johnnies pushing themselves too much against Wagner, leaving the total a few baskets short of the 144 mark.
