Depaul Game Thread

http://johnnyjungle.com/columns/calm-before-the-storm/st-johns-looks-for-depaul-sweep-in-final-on-campus-home-game-of-season/

Nineteen days ago, St. John’s went out to Chicago and picked up a much-needed 87-81 victory against DePaul. Since then, the Red Storm had lost four straight before Saturday’s thrilling 66-63 win over UCLA at Madison Square Garden. On the other side of the court, the Blue Demons are reeling; having lost six straight and eleven of their last twelve, with the one positive highlight being a road win against Rutgers.

for those coming to the game tonight, it is Senior Night and Bill from the student section (aka the sleeveless guy) is a senior and the student section is asking people to cut off the sleeves on a st johns shirt and wear it to the game if you can.  #DoItForBrusca!!!

I just cut the sleeves off my size medium t-shirt.  The guns are loaded!

DePaul is 1-6 as visitor in Big East.

But they have been competitive in some games: they have lost by less than 10 points at Cincinnati and Notre Dame, and they were losing by 8 points with 3 minutes remaining at Louisville

We really need this one. Hope our kids are able to get over the fatigue factor.

If we could win I think we could give ND a run with a longer break in between games till saturday but lets get the W tonight first

BTW - no pushing out of the pecs allowed for your mirror photo shots!

The last game against Depaul, they tried to run all night long.  That might be tougher this time with only 2 days rest.

Unfortunately, if I pushed out my pecs, I'd look like Scarlett Johansson.

Excellent point.  In Chicago both teams tried to run the other out of the gym.   
The guys might be a little tired from Saturday, but hopefully on our court we'll be a little more composed - let's win the turnover battle and I think we'll win this game.
