Big East Coast Bias · Mar 10, 2022
St. John’s beats up the Blue Demons, 92-73
Game 2 of 10 in the Big East tournament definitely felt like a Red Storm home game. Despite the away atmosphere, DePaul got out to a 12-2 start led by 6 points from star Javon Freeman-Liberty.
St. John’s star Julian Champagnie countered the Blue Demons’ hot start with a 4-0 run of his own. At the world’s most famous arena, the stars come out to shine. Early in this one, it was clear that would be the case.
Champagnie’s run was carried by the rest of the Red Storm, as DePaul’s once 10 point lead shrank to just 1. After a Yor Anei putback layup, a Montez Mathis 3 would tie the game up at 14.
