Newark, NJ (SportsNetwork.
http://www.germanynationalshop.com/Christoph-Kramer-Germany-Jersey/ .com) - The 15th-ranked St. Johns Red Storm and the Seton Hall Pirates begin Big
East play on Wednesday evening, as the two teams square off at the Prudential
Center. St. Johns continued its best start to a season since the 1985-86
campaign with an 82-57 rout of Tulane on Sunday. The victory was the seventh
straight for Steve Lavins Red Storm and their 11th in the first 12 games of the
season. The win streak marks the teams longest since the 1999-2000 season. Kevin
Willards Pirates are also off to a fast start, as they enter league play with a
10-2 record. Seton Hall has won three of its last four games, and also comes in
off a lopsided win, making light work of Maine on Saturday, 72-43. These two
teams are meeting for the 92nd time in the series history. They have met every
season since 1963-64. St. Johns holds a 57-34 advantage all-time. The Red Storm
rolled over the Green Wave at the Barclays Center on Sunday, thanks in large
part to SirDominic Pointers big outing. The senior swingman erupted for a
career-high 24 points, on 9-of-13 shooting. Senior guard DAngelo Harrison was
instrumental in the win as well, pouring in 21 points for St. Johns, which shot
.508 from the field overall. St. Johns definitely has some offensive depth, but
it is the teams defensive effort that has really fueled the strong start. The
Red Storm are limiting foes to a mere 58.2 ppg this year, holding them well
under 40 percent shooting (.364). It certainly helps to have a player like
center Chris Obekpa (7.4 ppg, 8.8 rpg) in the middle. The junior big man is the
DI active leader in career blocks (3.53 per game). Offensively, four players are
averaging double figures providing more than enough scoring depth. Harrison is
one of the top scoring threats in the Big East, averaging 19.0 ppg. Rysheed
Jordan is next in the scoring column for St. Johns at 14.3 ppg, while Pointer
(11.5 ppg) and Phil Greene IV (11.2 ppg) make sizable contributions as well.
Seton Hall has followed a similar blueprint to its season. Defense has been a
strength, as foes are netting just 60.2 ppg on a meager .386 shooting against
the Pirates. At the other end of the floor, the team is led by the scoring of
Sterling Gibbs. Seton Halls top sniper, Gibbs is shooting over 50 percent from
behind the arc (27-of-53), en route to 15.6 ppg. Isaiah Whitehead isnt quite as
efficient from the floor (.393), but he does averaging nearly 12 points per
outing (11.9). Brandon Mobley (9.9 ppg) and Angel Delgado (8.6 ppg, 8.8 rpg)
provide depth. Four Pirates finished in double figures, as Seton Halls balanced
attack was simply too much for Maine to contend with. Gibbs paced the team with
18 points. Fellow guard Jaren Sina added 13 points, followed by Khadeen
Carrington and Delgado, who finished with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Seton
Hall turned up the heat defensively in the win, forcing Maine into 20 turnovers
and holding the Black Bears to a mere .304 shooting effort.

limited minutes, and San Antonio trailed for only 11 seconds late in the first
quarter of a 103-90 victory over Portland on Wednesday night.

an assist. He scored the game-winner with 4:45 remaining in the third period,
stopping on the right hashmarks, carrying the puck up through the top of the
Kings zone, then firing a wrist shot from the top of the circles past
Jonathan Quick, who had his view obstructed by Andrew Shaw.DETROIT -- Tigers ace
Justin Verlander is expected to play catch Monday, less than three weeks after
having core muscle repair surgery. General manager Dave Dombrowski says he
doesnt anticipate Verlander missing any starts this season, but he cant promise
anything. Verlander had surgery Jan. 9 after hurting himself in December during
off-season conditioning. Dr. Bill Meyers in Philaadelphia performed the
operation on Verlander, who was expected to need six weeks of rehab before being
evaluated again.

scheduled for Feb. 14. Verlander went 13-12 last year with a 3.46 ERA for the AL
Central champions. He has been Detoits opening day starter for the last six
seasons.
