Watch: No. 6 St. John's buzzer-beater caps wild finish at No. 20 Marquette

Associated Press No. 6 St. John's (27-4, 18-2 in Big East) had already clinched the Big East regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming conference tournament, set to begin on March 12.

Saturday was another marquee win for the resurgent program under head coach Rick Pitino. The Red Storm haven't made the men's NCAA Tournament since 2019, when they lost in the First Four, and have only made four tournament appearances since the 2000-01 season.

Luis stayed red-hot against the Golden Eagles, scoring 28 points on 52.6 percent shooting and adding 11 rebounds. During the team's current six-game winning streak, which includes wins over Creighton (21-9, 14-5 in Big East) and two-time defending national champion UConn (21-9, 13-6 in Big East), Luis is averaging 22 points, eight rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.

Richmond had a triple-double, finishing with 10 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds.

St. John's is third in KenPom's defensive rating (89.3), making it legitimately scary with March Madness fast approaching.

The Red Storm have multiple playmakers, strong rebounding and a stout defense. Considering how this storybook season has gone so far in Queens, it would be a shock if St. John's didn't go on a deep NCAA Tournament run.
