DePaul vs St. John’s Game Preview, Big East Tournament

Why DePaul Will Win

The Blue Demons haven’t been bad over the last few weeks, and that includes a win over St. John’s.

It’s too late to get into the NCAA Tournament without a Big East championship, but they’re scoring in bunches, the shooting has been great, and it’s all started with lots and lots of big plays from the defense.

St. John’s might come up with steals, but it gives up way too many points, DePaul is scoring from three, on the free throw line, and on the move as it’s all working, and …

Why St. John’s Will Win

St. John’s is about to crank up the offense even more in New York.

It’s not like it didn’t play well in the loss to DePaul – it scored 94 points – but DePaul was on.

This is the Big East’s best scoring attack, and like DePaul lately, a lot of this comes from generating steals and takeaways. This is a high risk, high reward team that can’t stop anyone in a half court battle, but …

You want to get into another high-scoring firefight, DePaul? Let’s go.

St. John’s might have lost in Chicago a few weeks ago, but it won 89-84 at home in early January when it went off from three.

If you like killer defenses, this isn’t for you, but enjoy a whole ton of threes and a whole lot of momentum swings before the Red Storm finally pull away.

UConn clears Paige Bueckers to return just in time for March

The Huskies went 15-4 without the reigning national player of the year.

The reigning national player of the year, Paige Bueckers, has been cleared to return from injury for Friday’s game against St. John’s, UConn announced on Thursday.

Bueckers has missed 19 games since suffering an anterior tibial fracture and lateral meniscus tear on December 5 and undergoing surgery a week later.

She was averaging 21.2 points on 56% shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists through six games before the injury. UConn went 5-1 in those games, with the only loss coming to No. 1 South Carolina.

Bueckers’ return is much welcomed for a Huskies team that went 15-4 without her. Their five losses this season match their total number of losses over the last two seasons combined. A perennial national championship contender, UConn hasn’t won a title since a four-year streak from 2013-2016.

The Huskies have +750 odds to win it all this year, fourth-shortest behind South Carolina, Stanford and NC State.

After Friday’s game, UConn closes the regular season Sunday against Providence. Then comes the Big East Tournament. Already locked into the conference’s No. 1 seed, UConn will get a first-round bye and begin play on March 5.

Around the horn: Cromwick’s grand slam lifts Oregon past San Diego 21-11

Josiah Cromwick’s grand slam sparked a 12-run eighth inning to help Oregon capture its first win of the year 21-11.

Josiah Cromwick must be a fan of his grandma’s salami sandwiches on rye bread with mustard.

The Oregon Ducks catcher belted a grand slam in the eighth inning to give the Ducks a 14-10 lead and eventually Oregon went on to win 21-11 over San Diego to salvage one win in the four-game wraparound series.

Oregon had been struggling to score this entire weekend against Toreros pitching, but the offense broke out in a big way with 20 hits.

Jacob Walsh also added a two-run homer in the 12-run eighth inning. It was the first of what could be many round-trippers in the careers of both Cromwick and Walsh.

Getting this win in the series finale was very important as the Ducks didn’t want to come home 0-4 to start out the season. While the offense finally broke out, Oregon has to be concerned about the pitching and defense. San Diego scored in double figures in three of the four games and they committed eight errors.

The Ducks will try to figure a few things out before St. John’s comes all the way from New York to Eugene to begin another four-game series that runs from Friday to Monday (Feb. 25-28).

Shelby Lowe throws no-hitter, Tigers have impressive start to season

Auburn softball off to a roaring start, Shelby Lowe close to perfect in game 2

Auburn softball had a nearly perfect first day of the season.

Sophomore Shelby Lowe (1-0) threw a no-hitter against St. John’s in the Tigers’ second game of the season. The left-hander struck out 11 batters and hit one batter in the five innings she pitched, as Auburn cruised to a 14-0 win.

Auburn’s bats started the game hot and never cooled off, the Tigers scored five runs in the first inning and scored at least two runs in every inning.

Makayla Packer started the game off with a walk and promptly showcased her speed. She stole second and third before scoring on an error. Sydney Cox hit a home run just a few pitches later to give Auburn a 2-0 lead and open the floodgates.

Aspyn Godwin hit a two-run home run to stretch Auburn’s lead to 4-0 before the Tigers recorded an out.

While 10 different batters got hits for Auburn, it was Cox who stole the show offensively.

Cox, who started at third base, went 4-for-4 with a home run, three doubles, four RBI, and three runs scored and was named the Offensive Player of the Game.

Packer also had a strong performance offensively. Auburn’s centerfielder went 2-for-2 with a triple, two RBI, two runs scored, and stole two bases.

The win was Auburn’s second of the season after they beat Seton Hall 10-3 earlier in the day to open the season.

Auburn jumped out to an immediate 1-0 lead when leadoff batter Parker sent the second pitch she saw over the fence.

The Tigers wasted no time adding on either, adding two more runs in the first inning and three more in the second inning to jump out to a commanding 6-0 lead. That was plenty of room for sophomore pitcher Maddie Penta.

She may have not thrown a no-hitter, but Penta (1-0) was also dominant in the circle for Auburn. The right-hander allowed just two earned runs and four hits in seven innings of work while striking out 16 batters.

Auburn will return to Jane B. Moore Field Saturday for rematches with both Seton Hall and St. John’s. They will face Seton Hall at 2:30 p.m. CT and St. John’s at 5 p.m. CT. Auburn will close play their final game of the Tiger Invitational Sunday at 12:30 p.m. CT against UMass Lowell.
