FINAL: St. John's 72, Seton Hall 65
The Red Storm clinch a share of the Big East regular season title for a second consecutive season and will be the 1-seed at MSG next week.
#SJUBB
Hines misses both free throws. That should do it.
#sjubb
Ejiofor makes both free throws to put St. John's up five with 27.3 seconds left.
AJ Staton-McCray was left all alone and makes St. John's pay with a trey. Johnnies are only up by three.
Ruben Prey and Dylan Darling have each lost their shoe at some point tonight.
It was Jackson against Creighton. Sanon against Nova. Now it's Sellers against Hall.
Oziyah Sellers buries a corner triple -- his third of the half -- giving St. John's a 62-51 lead at the 3:58 mark.

S3LL3RS! JOHNNIES UP 11!
Zuby with the Euro! Johnnies up eight.
ANOTHER miss by St. John's at the line. Elijah Fisher cashes in on the four-point swing with a layup.
Every time St. John's has a window to go on a run, they squander it with poor rebounding, a silly turnover, or points left at the line.
They lead 55-49 at the 7:23 mark, but have to string some good possessions together.
#SJUBB
S3LLERS
Third foul on Dylan Darling with 8:25 remaining. Seton Hall are now in the bonus.
#SJUBB
St. John's blew a chance to add to their lead at the line, and are now only leading by one after two quick makes by Seton Hall.
#sjubb
Johnnies are leaving points at the line, shooting 7-of-15 after that empty trip by Joson Sanon.
#SJUBB
Dylan Darling scores a contested driving layup and draw the fouls on Najai Hines to give St. John's a 48-45 lead. Red Storm fans around the Prudential Center roar.
Darling doing what he can to keep the Johnnies offense together.
#sjubb
DING DONG.
First play out of the timeout: Ian Jackson commits a turnover after getting trapped in the corner and Ruben Prey commits his third foul trying to stop Jacob Dar.
Hasn't been the Bronx native's night.
#SJUBB
Since St. John's took a nine-point lead off Sellers's triple, Seton Hall is on a 7-0 run in the last two minutes.
#SJUBB
Jackson enters and commits his third foul on his first play back into the game.
BEAUTIFUL skip pass by Mitchell to find Sellers from a three.
Johnnies have their largest lead of the game, 44-35.
#SJUBB
Joson Sanon buries back-to-back triples to keep St. John's ahead, 40-35.
Johnnies are still going to have to find a way to win these Zuby-less minutes. He's on the bench with his third foul.
