Joel Soriano didnt like what he saw of himself on film.

Lack of energy, low motor, no intensity, St. Johns center said. No grit, no fight.

Soriano has not been at his best of late and really struggled in Tuesdays blowout loss at Seton Hall, managing just six points and four rebounds in 18 minutes along with a minus-31 rating.

I am going to be better tomorrow, the Johnnies leading scorer and rebounder promised. Im coming with a better mindset. … Just come out of the gate with a lot of energy, high intensity. Just be a dog, thats one thing I want to see from myself tomorrow.

Coach Rick Pitino, who wasnt on the sideline for the game because of a bout with COVID-19, said he feels Soriano has received too much blame when things go wrong for St. Johns and too much credit when it does.

I can look at Chris Ledlum and say it even more so than Joel. Ledlums got to bring it more, Jordan Dingles got to bring it more. Nahiem Alleynes got to do it. They all got to do it. My point being, Joel doesnt deserve all the praise hes been getting for all of his double-doubles, and he shouldnt be getting all the criticism for the Seton Hall game. He didnt play well, but everybody else didnt play well.

Pitino spent a good portion of the press conference harping on the need for all of his players to give the daily effort he sees from starting point guard Daniss Jenkins and reserve forward Zuby Ejiofor.

Those two are constants in how hard they play in practice and games.

If they want to be a great basketball team down the road come March, then they all have to play like Daniss and Zuby, Pitino said. I dont want Joel to take the brunt of our loss, because it was all of them.

St. Johns will be without Dingle due to COVID-19.
