The Red Storm (5-1) is playing the Orange (5-2) at the Carrier Dome at 5:15 p.m. None of the Johnnies has ever tasted victory against the 'Cuse. In fact St. John's has lost the last nine meetings dating back to Jan. 21, 2007 and nine straight at the Dome dating back to Jan. 27, 1999...
Over his last three games, Stewart has made five of 11 three-point shots. And he could be especially valuable in shooting over or spreading out the Orange’s tenacious 2-3 zone defense...
This still counts as a pregame article, right? SU/SJU: still a rivalry? Oh, and a quick look at the Johnnies: http://.com/misremembering-the-st-johns-rivalry/

St. John's is rated 7th in the USA in shot blocking, with over 7 per game. Chris Obekpa is one of the best shot blockers in USA.
St. John's as I late hasn't been a great 3 PT shooting team, but last 2 games they have been hot. Greene, Stewart and Harrison can shoot it
Rysheed Jordan one of the most exciting guards in the USA. He can get in the lane and make plays as good as anyone Also, great on ball def
Key for the Cuse: handle their pressure with minimal turnovers. St. John's best offense is their defense pressure
