NEW YORK (AP) — In a game both teams really needed, Cincinnati overcame foul trouble while St. John’s couldn’t overcome poor free throw shooting.
A good old-fashioned Big East game came down to the final seconds and the 25th-ranked Bearcats were able to steal a road win, 53-51 over St. John’s on Saturday.
The game came down to Yancy Gates’ three-point play with 8 seconds remaining that made it 53-51.
