College basketball scores, results: Houston, St. John’s roll to conference tournament titles

  • Duke maintains a slim 17-15 lead into the under-12 timeout of the ACC title game. This has been a fun and frenetic start.
  • St. John’s secures the double title, regular season and tournament, in the Big East. First tournament title since 2000.
  • RJ Luis (29 points) led the game-deciding surge in the 2nd half.
  • The Red Storm have this one in hand, leading 78-66 with about 2 minutes to play.
  • It was close until SJU went on a massive surge midway through the 2nd half.
  • The No. 1 seed Cougars finish the game on an 11-2 run to hold off a feisty Wildcats team.
  • That most likely secures Houston as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tourney.
  • The Rams blow out Boise State to win the Mountain West autobid. That might be bad news for some bubble teams, as Boise was likely already in the NCAA tourney field.
  • The Cougars head into the final TV timeout with a 66-62 lead over Arizona.
  • Final 2:33 on tap with the Big 12 trophy on the line.
  • This KJ Lewis’ bucket was part of a 7-0 Wildcats run to give them a 62-61 lead with 5:28 to play.
  • Vince Iwuchukwu hit back-to-back buckets to give the Johnnies their first lead of the game, and the crowd is on its feet in New York City.
  • St. John’s 47, Creighton 44 | 10:21 to play
  • It’s been a rock fight so far, with points tough to come by. Should be a dramatic final 20 minutes to decide the Big East champ.
  • Caleb Love continues his hot run in the Big 12 tournament. He’s got 14 to lead the Wildcats at the break.
  • Even his missed shot resulted in a bucket before the halftime buzzer:
  • Creighton is up 19-15 early in the Big East championship, and St. John’s players are out here losing shoes.
  • Arizona has taken a 21-19 lead on a Tobe Awaka hook shot in the paint. The Wildcats are on a 10-0 run.
  • Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd was shown firing up his team during a timeout huddle, yelling at them to be tough in fighting for the ball when Houston goes for the steal.
  • A Carter Bryant 3 and Caleb Love layup have pulled Arizona to a 19-16 margin.
  • The Wildcats had a chance to cut the deficit to one point, but Carter Bryant and Henri Veesaar couldn’t connect on a fast-break lob attempt.
