The St. John’s Men’s Basketball team began their Big East Conference slate Wednesday, Dec. 7 with an 86-67 win against DePaul, improving to 9-1 and winning their first league game.

The Red Storm looked locked in from the start, as they went on a 12-0 run before DePaul finally broke their scoring drought with a 3 pointer at the 14:45 mark of the first half. This is a stark difference from the previous games of the season, where the team has started the game on the wrong foot in almost every game.
