MILWAUKEE -- Jessica January hit three 3-pointers and finished with 20 points to help No. 17 DePaul beat St. John's 59-41 on Monday night in the semifinals of the Big East Conference Tournament.
January, the pre-season Big East Player of the Year who missed 15 games with a broken finger before returning on Feb. 24, was the only DePaul (26-6) player to score in double figures.
The top-seeded Blue Demons will face No. 3 seed Marquette in the finals on Tuesday.
After a conventional 3-point play by Akine Wellere put fifth-seeded St. John's (20-11) up 8-7, the Red Storm went nearly 5 1/2 minutes without a field goal and missed 15 of their next 17 shots.
