Late night #mubb.

📞📞#mubb

St. John's leads #mubb 15-11 after eight minutes of play. MU from the field: 4-for-10, 1-4 3pt SJU from the field: 6-for-14, 2-7 3pt

Still just in awe of the growth of Royce Parham in Big East play. He just made easy work of Bryce Hopkins on that hook and is up to a team-high 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting. #mubb trails 36-31 with 3:03 to play in the first half.

HALF: #mubb 35, St. John's 44 The Golden Eagles shot 45% from the field in the first half, but were just 2-of-9 (22.2%) from deep. Hopkins: 11 pts, 7 reb Parham: 11 pts, 1 reb

Quick 6-0 run for #mubb forces Johnnie's into a timeout not even two minutes into the second half.

Royce Parham just picked up his third personal foul with 16:21 to play. Hamilton checks in for him. #mubb

We're tied at 46 at Fiserv Forum with 14:53 to play in the second half. #mubb Although he missed the layup on the other end, that block and rebound by James. Jr on the prior defensive possession was just ridiculous. Reminder: he's six-foot tall.

Every time Nigel James Jr. makes a play you think is his best of the night, he finds a way to one-up himself a few minutes later. #mubb up 56-50 with 11:49 to play after that UNREAL layup.

The fact that #mubb fans have gotten to watch Markus Howard, Tyler Kolek, Kam Jones & Nigel James Jr. — all within the last decade — seems unfair. Just a generational run of point guards this program is on.

St. John's goes on a quick 9-0 run to regain a 59-56 lead. #mubb hasn't scored in the last 2:08 of game time. Timeout Marquette.

Hopkins up to 21 points now as Parham picks up his fourth foul on the and-one bucket. #mubb trails 64-59 with 8 mins to play.

Four fouls on Darling after that foul. #mubb

#mubb hasn't scored since the 7:33 mark of the second half and trails 68-61 with 3:54 to go.

That 3-pointer from Adrien Stevens is #mubb's first made field goal since the 7:33 mark.

74-70 St. John's with 21.7 seconds to play after Ejiofor knocks down a pair of free throws. #mubb

FINAL: #mubb 70, St. John's 76 The Golden Eagles offense once again went dry during a time it couldn't afford to in the final 10 minutes. James Jr. led the way with a game-high 25 points for Marquette, and Hopkins posted a team-high 23 for the Red Storm.

Next up at home for #mubb:

Shaka Smart announced after the game #mubb guard Sean Jones will miss the remainder of the season due to injury.

Marquette led St. John's 56-50 with just under 12 minutes to go. The Golden Eagles lost 76-70 after their offense again stagnated in crucial minutes down the stretch. #mubb Story by Matthew Baltz: tinyurl.com/j64cxhw7
