"In a defensive-heavy affair, Bryce Hopkins led St. John's with 23 points and 10 rebounds. The senior forward sealed the win on a successful trip to the charity stripe, where he made both free throws after snagging a defensive rebound."
"The Red Storm found themselves at the free throw quite often, as they made 67 %of their attempts. They also found success on defense thanks to Zuby Ejiofor. The senior big man had the Golden Eagles' number, as he blocked three shots and snagged six rebounds. This was in addition to 10 points for an inefficient performance. However, his defensive impact enabled St. John's to force Marquette to commit 10 turnovers."
No. 17 St. John's defeated Marquette 76-70, extending its win streak to 12 games and claiming sole possession of first place in the Big East after Creighton upset UConn.
