After an inconsistent start to the regular season, the St. John’s Red Storm may finally be finding their way. The Johnnies rang in the new year with another come-from-behind win as they topped DePaul 79-73 for their third straight victory on Jan. 1.
The win gave St. John’s its first 2-0 start to conference play since the 2010-2011 season. They now join Villanova and Xavier as the lone unbeaten teams in the Big East through two games, a situation that even the most optimistic Red Storm fans would admit they didn’t see unfolding just a few weeks earlier.
