With a gritty comeback on Senior Night at Madison Square Garden, the Red Storm (24-6, 17-2 Big East) tied No. 4 UConn atop the conference standings with one regular-season game remaining. A victory Friday night at Hudson River rival Seton Hall would give the Johnnies at least a share of their second consecutive Big East regular-season championship following a 32-year drought. The only time they've won back-to-back league crowns was 1985 and '86. Dylan Darling had 12 points for St. John's, which has won 15 of 16 overall and 11 straight meetings with Georgetown --- the longest streak for either school in a series that dates to 1909. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
