Unlike most Midwestern teams, which specialize in the fast break, St. John's has a collection of set-shot artists who do not weave in unless they feel frisky...
Rockwell's nine points seriously undercut his shooting average; the tall pivot player has been averaging more than 20 points a game, and produced 30 against Holy Cross. Smith, who teams with Rockwell under the basket, was even more disappointing with a field goal and a free throw...
