More and more it looks as if Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez will get his wish of playing St. John’s in Madison Square Garden.

And this time the stakes will be much higher.

Seton Hall and St. John’s appear headed toward a first-round matchup in the Big East Tournament. That game, pitting No. 12 against No. 13, would take place at 2 p.m. on March 10. As we reported here earlier, it won’t be televised, so fans will have to either watch on the old Internet or buy tickets.

Seton Hall, which visits Louisville Wednesday, and St. John’s, which hosts Georgetown at Madison Square Garden, have split a pair of games this season, with each winning on its home court.

The University of Maryland is investigating potential NCAA violations connected to Lance Stephenson’s official visit to campus last month.

The Washington Post on Sunday reported that Maryland may have violated NCAA rules by allowing Stephenson, the 6-foot-5 star out of Brooklyn Lincoln, and his family to take a tour of the Under Armour facilities in Baltimore. Under Armour is owned and run by Kevin Plank, a former Maryland football player and member of the school’s Board of Trustees. (Plank is pictured at center, courtesy the AP).
