DePaul led by three points at the end of the first quarter, outscored St. John’s 17-4 in the second to take a 29-13 lead into break and led by double figures throughout the second half.

Wellere led St. John’s with 11 points. The Red Storm shot just 26 percent from the field and tied its season low for points.
