The Red Storm got a sizable lead early, and maintained that lead before pulling away late beating DePaul, 86-67.
St. John’s started the game off with a 12-0 run, holding DePaul scoreless for the first four minutes of the contest.
Despite the strong start to the game, the Red Storm defense began having some late rotations and late doubles leading to multiple open looks for the Blue Demons. DePaul was able to capitalize and linger around for the rest of the first half.
Even with the team playing in lead-maintenance mode, Joel Soriano got back to being an offensive force inside.
