Finally back home after a two game road trip, #23/#24 St. John’s welcomes the DePaul Blue Demons from Chicago to a sold-out Carnesecca Arena. Tonight, the Johnnies will also honor recently-deceased Solly Walker, the first African-American player to suit up for the Red Storm.
It should be a good night all around, but do not forget: DePaul can be the Johnnies’ kryptonite.
Last season, St. John’s was -16 against the Blue Demons, getting smoked at home by the visitors and winning by only one in Chicago.
The Demons know how to be frustrating for teams that want to run.
