Live game thread: St. John’s vs DePaul Blue Demons

Mathis and Stef Smith start, Soriano is out

By Norman Rose
St. John's comes off of a two-and-a-half week pause because of COVID positives to knock off DePaul in the Red Storm's Big East opener, 89-84. Nick Bello

The Johnnies are in the lovely city of Chicago needing to win out and hopefully make the NIT — or the NCAA Tournament with a run in the Big East Tournament. At times, it has looked like the talent is there for that and at times, the Red Storm have looked unable to play together offensively. Which team shows up this afternoon?
