The question fans were raising at the onset of the play-in game of the 2022 Big East Tournament game against DePaul was: which Johnnies team would show up?
Would it be the team which won eight league games by an average of 15 points per win... or the team that lost eleven league games by an average of 8 points per game? (If the 23-point loss to Creighton in mid January was taken away, the losses of the other 10 games were by an average of 5.4 points.)
St. John’s – DePaul: March 9
It took three minutes for the Johnnies team to focus on the mission at hand as DePaul jumped out to a 12-2 lead.
