NEW YORK — Oso Ighodaro scored 17 points, Tyler Kolek had 15 points and 11 assists, and No. 17 Marquette held off a furious St. John's rally for a 73-72 victory at Madison Square Garden. After trailing by 13 with six minutes left, the Red Storm took advantage of turnovers and some rare missed free throws by Kolek to give themselves a chance for a stirring comeback win. Daniss Jenkins, however, missed a free throw that would have tied it with 38.9 seconds remaining. Chris Ledlum and Jenkins missed 3-pointers in the final moments. Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino was back on the St. John's sideline following a bout with COVID-19.
