GU, St. John’s stories from Denver

Good morning from Denver. We arrived last night, wrote some on the plane, finished up at the hotel, then found dinner and a TV in time to watch Saint Mary's lose another heartbreaker.

Here's our GU-related material in today's S-R: John Blanchette details redshirt freshman David Stockton's growing impact this season and I put together an article on St. John's D.J. Kennedy, one of the key players in the program's turnaround, who will miss the tournament with a torn ACL.

More on the matchup in the New York Post and Daily News, and more on St. John's Sean Evans (Kennedy's replacement).

Press conferences from both teams late this afternoon/early evening. We'll be back with more later.
