3 things to watch for

1. The debut of Kassoum Yakwe

The 3-star center (according to 247sports.com) has finally been cleared by the NCAA and will make his St. John's debut on Wednesday. The 6-foot-8 forward will give St. John's some much needed depth in the low block. The athletic power forward is a potent rebounder and a solid shot defender. He may be unpolished on the offensive end, but his athleticism will benefit the Red Storm for the rest of the season. His debut is long awaited for most St. John's fans.

2. Fordham's Offensive Potency

Fordham has scored over 70 points in each of their first five games, averaging a total of 80.8 per game. Their 19.2 assist per game mark is the 13th highest in the nation along with a field goal percentage ranked 21st in the country. Mandel Thomas is scoring 17.6 points per game on 48.4 percent shooting, and Ryan Rhoomes, a 6-foot-8 senior center from Jamaica, Queens, is averaging 14.8 points on 73.3 percent. Their toughest test may come against Chris Mullin's Red Storm defense, which has been pretty stout thus far.

3. St. John's disappointment from the 3-point line

So far this season, St. John's is shooting a measly 38 percent from long range. Their 43 3-pointers don't fare much better, ranking 142nd in the nation. They rely heavily on Ron Mvouika's 52 percent mark from deep and his ability to draw the defender out so Federico Mussini and others can penetrate into the lane. Their struggles from deep are just one of their offensive issues so far in the season. It will be interesting to see if they can change their fortune against their New York City rival.
