How St. John's measures up to No. 1 Duke in Sweet 16 showdown
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Duke holds a notable advantage in athleticism and size in the backcourt, despite uncertainty around starting point guard Caleb Foster's availability due to recent foot surgery.
- Freshman Cayden Boozer has stepped up effectively in Foster’s absence, averaging 13.8 points and maintaining low turnovers over five games.
- Duke's Dame Sarr is a strong defender but inconsistent shooter, while Isaiah Evans, the team's second-leading scorer, is a key 3-point threat and contributed significantly in the previous round.
- St. John’s key backcourt players include Dylan Darling, whose buzzer-beater secured their Sweet 16 spot despite recent struggles with 3-point shooting, and Oziyah Sellers, a reliable spot-up shooter who has frequently scored in double digits recently.
