St. John’s basketball was unable to complete the comeback against No. 22 DePaul.
There’s no doubt about it, it was ugly early for the St. John’s basketball team in its rematch with No. 22 DePaul (11-4, 8-2 Big East) on Wednesday night.
The Blue Demons dropped 101 points on the Red Storm (5-11, 2-9 Big East) in its first meeting in Chicago, the most points surrendered by the Johnnies this season, and it looked like DePaul was going to do that again after it jumped out to a 16-2 lead in Queens less than four minutes into the game.
