This was a pretty evenly matched game all in all. The biggest factor that swung the game toward SBU was their shooting. They took 10 fewer shots than St Johns, but thanks to a 32 to 23% edge in shooting percentage, they turned those shots into one extra goal.
Since possessions were dead-even at 42, it’s a good thing that they did because their 10 turnovers were dragging the Seawolves in the opposite direction. But on this day, their pin point shooting overcame the ball disciplined shown by St. John’s.

This game was great evidence that the cure for not shooting well is backing up those shots and not turning the ball over before you can launch another one.

If there is one thing that stands out, it’s the turnovers. Neither team was careless with the ball and both dropped their turnover rates substantially compared to their season averages. Nice to see a well-played game that hinged on shots made and not turnovers committed.
