No. 6 St. John’s beats Creighton 82-66 for 1st Big East Tournament crown in 25 years

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Regular-season champs. 6 St. John’s made 14 straight shots from the field in the second half to beat Creighton 82-66 on Saturday night for its first Big East Tournament title in 25 years. “As a New Yorker myself, I’m very, very proud that St. John’s has gotten to this level.” Pitino, in his second season with the Johnnies, also became the first coach to win the Big East Tournament at two schools. “I’m so happy to be a part of history.” And after the Red Storm cut down the nets, a message appeared on the giant video screen above center court: “For Looie.” “I’m thinking he would be so proud of this team,” said Pitino, who has quickly revived St. John’s into a national power again late in his illustrious but checkered career. After falling behind by eight early, St. John’s finally took its first lead at 43-41 with 11:55 remaining when backup big man Vince Iwuchukwu scored left-handed in the post over the 7-foot-1 Kalkbrenner, the four-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year.
