Three Thoughts: Sacred Heart 73, New Hampshire 60
Sacred Heart was 5-26 last season, and quite frankly had very little going for them in Anthony Latina’s first campaign, finishing 273rd in the nation in adjusted offense and even worse (297th) on defense. What does a young coach do after a season like that? Think a lot, first of all. And second, go to work.
“We have been a really bad defensive team for a long time here,” Latina said. “One way to improve is to improve your talent, which we think we’ve done, adding some good players. The other thing is that we have to play defense. We looked at a team like Virginia, who wins without the best talent in their league, they just defend really well, so we tried to model what we’re trying to do after what they did.”

St. John’s For Real? Some Signs Pointing That Way
There was surprise, but not shock when St. John’s found itself down 15 at the half Friday night against Saint Mary’s at Carnesecca Arena. After all, it was about time the Jarvis Curse – you know, the one that hasn’t seen the Red Storm win an NCAA Tournament game in 15 years – showed up, skittish Johnnies fans had been dreading its arrival, but after an 8-1 start that included a win at the Carrier Dome over Syracuse, maybe it was in hibernation, at least?
