The Women's Basketball Team's next opponent is led by a girl that goes by the name Mo-Mo

The women debut their first ever ranking tomorrow at the Carrier Dome at 2 PM. They play the Red Storm who comes in at 10-8 and 1-4 in the Big East. St. John's has really struggled in conference play with their only win coming over fellow doormat South Florida. They did play Rutgers and Pitt tough, but got hammered at home against West Virginia.

St. John's enters the game with an RPI of 62 and played a decent non-conference schedule to prepare them for Big East play. Their best win so far came at NCST who is 12-7, but win less in the ACC. The Red Storm beat them 60-55. St. John's is 2-5 on the road and 0-2 in conference play.

They are led by Monique McLean who averages 14.1 points per game. McLean goes by the nickname M0-Mo according to her bio on St. John's athletics website.

The Red Storm's second leading scorer is Kia Wright. She averages just over 11 points per game and is the team leader in assists. She's a transfer from UCONN so she must have a pretty solid game to once have played for Geno Auriemma.

The leading rebounder for the Johnnies is Joy McCorvey at just 6.2 rebounds per game. She's a six foot sophomore forward from Alabama.

Syracuse is going to dominate SJU on the glass. S.U. has had a solid rebounding margin all year, compound that with St. Johns struggles on the glass and you should get complete domination by the Orange tomorrow.

CuseAdelphia prediction: Syracuse 82, St. John's 58.
