Even though this is an exhibition, this is Bailey’s and Harper’s first taste of college basketball. Practice is one thing but it’s another to play an actual game against other schools. Also, the same principle applies to St. John’s basketball. This may be an exhibition but it could reveal a lot about how they look entering the season.
St. John’s basketball head coach Rick Pitino has more than Thursday’s charity exhibition to focus on; it’s also playing against freshman standouts Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.
