EA Simulation Says St. Joe’s Victorious Tonight
Well folks, Kansas was put to the test today by the very physical St. Joseph’s Hawks. Kansas just couldn’t get anything going in the paint, and suffered a 9 point defeat at Allen Fieldhouse. However, The Jayhawks didn’t go down without a fight. Trailing 15 with 4 minutes left, J.R Giddens rattled off 8 straight points, followed by a three pointer from Kieth Langford to cut the lead to 4. Unfortunately time ran out on their comeback and after adding a few points from the charity stripe, St. Joe’s went on to win 80-71. Let’s hope the programmers at EA Sports have overestimated the strength of the St. Joe’s team, and that Kansas comes out on top of tonight’s matchup.
