It all meshed in that blistering second-half performance against Nebraska, a 70-50 victory made possible by a 50-23 outburst after intermission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat second half we showcased, when our defense is clicking, how fun of a team we can be,\u201d Soriano told The Post. \u201cThat\u2019s our style of play. We\u2019re an uptempo team; we want to be in your face, get steals, blocks, get out and run. That second half was a showcase of what we can do and what we expect to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it was the first real big test for our team. We needed a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/newspress-collage-24728308-1668991947281.jpg?1668973993&amp;w=1024&amp;1668973993\" alt=\"St. John's Red Storm center Joel Soriano (11) struggles under the basket and is personal fouled by Nebraska Cornhuskers forward Wilhelm Breidenbach (32) during the first half when the St. John's Red Storm played the Nebraska Cornhuskers Thursday, November 17, 2022 at St. John's University in Queens, NY.\" class=\"wp-image-24728352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/newspress-collage-24728308-1668991947281.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;1668974075&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/newspress-collage-24728308-1668991947281.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;1668974075 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/newspress-collage-24728308-1668991947281.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;1668974075&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Red Storm center Joel Soriano commended his team\u2019s second-half outburst while facing Nebraska.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Robert Sabo.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, St. John\u2019s (4-0) has yet to perform like that team Soriano described on a consistent basis. It struggled mightily in that first half against Nebraska, projected to finish next-to-last in the Big Ten, it should be noted. It committed 29 turnovers in a season-opening win over NEC preseason-favorite Merrimack. It wasn\u2019t at its best in less-than-stellar performances against Lafayette and Central Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p>The key will be to bottle up the final 20 minutes against Nebraska, and bring it to Barclays Center on Monday and Tuesday for the Empire Classic. The Johnnies will first meet Temple, which has already knocked off Villanova and Rutgers, and possibly old Big East rival Syracuse the following night.

This team\u2019s roster may fit Anderson\u2019s uptempo style better. It certainly looked like it on Thursday when the Johnnies were flying all over Carnesecca Arena, looking every bit like a team capable of being a factor in the top half of the Big East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been handling adversity well,\u201d Soriano said. \u201cI think everyone\u2019s on the same page, everyone\u2019s connected on the court and off the court. I feel like we\u2019re having fun out there. We\u2019re more unified.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
