No. 13 St. John’s back in Big East title game after 78-68 win over Seton Hall at MSG

NEW YORK (AP) — Zuby Ejiofor scored 20 points and No. 13 St. John’s beat Seton Hall 78-68 on Friday to reach the Big East Tournament title game for the second consecutive season.

Joson Sanon added 15 points off the bench for the defending champion Red Storm (27-6), who will face No. 11 seed Georgetown or sixth-ranked and second-seeded UConn on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

St. John’s, outright regular-season champions each of the past two years, has never won back-to-back Big East Tournament crowns.
