I have been thinking about what has to change for St. John’s to be dangerous come March.

For Rick Pitino’s team not only to make the NCAA Tournament, but to be a group capable of advancing to the second weekend.

You can talk about the need to rebound better, to respond after the opposition makes a run, to play through their strengths on the inside when adversity hits.

But to me, it’s all about the backcourt — and one player in particular.
