"No. 22 St. John's gained more ground to kickstart February, winning its eighth consecutive game in Big East conference play 68-56 at DePaul on Tuesday. That result makes them 9-4 in Quad one and Quad two games this season. This was a tremendous win for us because this was a very difficult game to play, Rick Pitino said during a postgame press conference. Zuby Ejiofor, who recorded his 1,000th career point, led the Red Storm with 16 points, nine rebounds, and four assists."
"His performance enabled his team to sweep the Blue Devils, as they won the first face-off in December. Bryce Hopkins and Oziyah Sellers combined for 28 points and 10 rebounds, keying the Red Storm to seal yet another close victory, their second straight by double digits. But the Johnnies dealt with more growing pains overall, shooting 35% (21-for-60) from the field and 30% (6-for-20) from beyond the arc. The Johnnies managed to overcome a slow start, going 1-for-6 from the field."
