Georgetown-St. John's Preview
While St. John's features one of the top scorers in the Big East, there's no such player for Georgetown - something that was very clear in its last game.
The No. 19 Hoyas seek to avoid their first 0-3 start in the conference in 13 years when they meet the Red Storm at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
Sophomore guard D'Angelo Harrison is second in the league with 21...
Talking St John's with Norman from Rumble in the Garden
Tomorrow at 4 pm on ESPNU, the Cincinnati Bearcats renew their series with the St John's Red Storm. It seems like UC has played St John's a lot over the last couple years since they have been mirror opponents in the Big East. This year they only play once. Thank the good lord.
This could also be the last time Cincinnati and St John's play. That's kind of sad...
St. John's 77, St. Francis (NY) 60
D'Angelo Harrison scored 25 points and JaKarr Sampson had 21 points and 12 rebounds to lead St. John's to a 77-60 victory over St. Francis, N.Y., on Saturday at the Barclays Center.
Sir'Dominic Pointer added 12 points - all in the second half - for the Red Storm (8-3), and freshman Chris Obekpa blocked nine shots, two off the school record he set last Saturday against...
St. John's 58, Fordham 47
Chris Obekpa let the world in on the secret of what shot blockers are thinking about as they go about harassing shooters.
''Nothing,'' the St. John's freshman said after breaking his own school record of eight blocks, rejecting 11 in a 58-47 victory over Fordham on Saturday night in the Madison Square Garden Holiday Festival.
''I just play good defense...
St. John's 65, Holy Cross 53
JaKarr Sampson scored a career-high 20 points, including six straight in the second half that helped St. John's rally past Holy Cross 65-53 Wednesday.
The Red Storm (3-2) trailed 37-35 when D'Angelo Harrison hit a 3-pointer to give them the lead. Sampson followed with three straight baskets during a 9-2 run that put St. John's ahead 44-39 with 13 minutes left.
Harrison...
Murray St. 72, St. John's 67
Stacy Wilson had 23 points and Murray State used a late 12-0 run to defeat St. John's 72-67 on Friday night and reach the Charleston Classic championship.
The Racers (3-0) trailed by 13 points in the opening half and were still down 59-52 after Chris Obekpa's basket with 7:27 left. That's when Murray State started its go-ahead run. Wilson hit a 3-pointer to draw the...
Obekpa, St. John’s welcome Detroit to a nationally televised block party
In a game featuring the likes of D’Angelo Harrison, Phil Greene, Jason Calliste and Ray McCallum, one would in all likelihood find it safe to assume that Tuesday’s matchup between St. John’s and Detroit would more or less be decided by the play around the perimeter, right?
Wrong.
No easy buckets against Obekpa and the Red Storm. (Credit: Vinny Dusovic, St. John’s Athletics...
St. John's 77, Detroit 74
D'Angelo Harrison got out of the coach's doghouse. Chris Obekpa made his way into the St. John's record book.
The Red Storm used a late run to take control, and then hung on to beat Detroit 77-74 on Tuesday.
Harrison was kicked out of practice, played limited minutes in the first exhibition and none in the second for not showing the leadership qualities coach Steve...
St. John’s Jakarr Sampson misses easy layup against Detroit (Video)
In his first collegiate game for St John’s, freshmen forward Jakarr Sampson will be making the wrong Top 10 list. After Ray McCallum was stuffed by Chris Obekpa during Tuesday afternoon’s Detroit-St. John’s game for ESPN Tipoff Marathon, Sampson went in for the uncontested layup and completely missed the rim. Might want to spend some time working on layups in practice.
