One last dispatch from me from MSG tonight, my recap for the Big East’s website on Georgetown’s win over DePaul:
#Hoyas #dpubb #ScoMons
They’re going down the stretch one more time in Manhattan, and Georgetown takes a 48-45 lead into the final 3:57.
As Bobby Gonzalez so famously said, it isn’t an oil painting. #Hoyas #dpubb #ScoMons
DePaul leads by three after a rock fight of a first half, 24-21 the score over Georgetown. #dpubb #ScoMons
Life on the road has been a struggle for DePaul -

Starters for both sides:
DePaul — Layden Blocker, RJ Smith, CJ Gunn, Kaleb Banks and NJ Benson.
UConn — Silas Demary, Jr., Solo Ball, Braylon Mullins, Alex Karaban and Tarris Reed, Jr.
#UConn #dpubb
ZEBRA ALERT — Today’s officials for UConn/DePaul: Jeff Clark, Tim Clougherty and Nathan Farrell.
All things considered, this is a great whistle. Could be a lot worse, as St. John’s and Creighton fans will attest to. #UConn #dpubb
Admittedly, I’m still partially coherent, but I was able to make it into Hartford for a Big East matinee.
Game #47 of the season tips off in a little over an hour when No. 4 UConn hosts DePaul. #UConn #dpubb #ScoMons

And while all that was happening, DePaul is still within single digits at the U12. Kalen Banks looks like he can be something as the year goes on…he’s got 15 and 6 for the Blue Demons, who trail by a 54-45 count with 11:22 still remaining. #dpubb #ScoMons
In its Big East opener, St. John’s has handled business comfortably in the first half, taking a 39-28 lead into the locker room on DePaul. A balanced effort on the scoreboard for the most part, and no sign of looking ahead to Kentucky from the Johnnies. #sjubb #dpubb #ScoMons
St. John’s is now up 12, using a 9-0 run to stretch its lead and force Chris Holtmann into a 30. DePaul stopped the bleeding momentarily, but now trails by a 31-19 count with 6:50 left before halftime. #sjubb #dpubb #ScoMons
St. John’s second unit looked more efficient than the starters, at least the last couple minutes.
Paced by four threes in seven attempts thus far, the Red Storm has a 19-14 lead on DePaul with 11:45 remaining in the opening stanza. #sjubb #dpubb #ScoMons
DePaul is holding its own five minutes in, despite a shot clock violation and St. John’s ball pressure out of the box at an extremely high level.
It’s 10-9, Johnnies, behind five points from Jackson. #sjubb #dpubb #ScoMons
Starters for both sides:
DePaul — Layden Blocker, RJ Smith, CJ Gunn, Kaleb Banks and NJ Benson.
St. John’s — Ian Jackson, Oziyah Sellers, Joson Sanon, Bryce Hopkins and Zuby Ejiofor.

ZEBRA ALERT — Tonight’s officials for St. John’s/DePaul: John Gaffney, Matt Potter and Tommy Morrissey for the Big East opener in Queens. #sjubb #dpubb
It’s not often that a mid-December trip to Carnesecca might be my last one of the year, but St. John’s hasn’t played this many games at the Garden since before I was born.
Game #34, against DePaul, tips off in a few minutes. #sjubb #dpubb

Incredibly fun night meeting up with DePaul Basketball. Coach Holtmann, AD Peevy, some board of trustee members, ex-players, and assistant coaches. They were all welcoming and all were getting me stoked for next season. #bluegrit #dpubb #bigeast

“I think there’s no question that our guys—when they have a moment—can reflect back and say, ‘yeah, this was the start of something pretty special.’”

Ryan Kalkbrenner was just called for going over the back on Layden Blocker.
There will be a full moon tonight, for those of you scoring at home. #dpubb #ScoMons
Things are happening at Madison Square Garden right now.
Down the stretch they come, with DePaul (!!!) taking a 60-51 lead into the final 3:42 against Creighton with a trip to the semifinals at stake. #dpubb #ScoMons
