Recap: St. John's
               

Queens, N.Y. -- It was a light moment in an otherwise tense atmosphere.

At the 15-minute mark of the second half and his Marquette Golden Eagles trailing, 37-33, after a Darius Johnson-Odom three-pointer, coach Buzz Williams somehow lost his grip on a plastic container filled with chewing gum as St. John's was bringing the ball past.

The gum scattered all over the court, forcing the officials to call timeout. Williams sheepishly began picking up the gum, along with the officials and even members of the Red Storm's staff, while also apologizing to everyone within earshot.

Was the play you ran for the game-winner the same play you ran to win it at UConn?

"It was the same play, and it just so happened it was the same result. I don't know why, but when I get the ball at the end of the game I'm thinking maybe my team wants me to take the shot. If not, then they're just going to have to deal with it. I was looking out and I had time to reverse it to Lazar, but they were switching a lot. DJ was open, but I was trying to get it to Lazar. Then after that I just created for myself. Actually (Boothe) hit the ball loose, and then it was just a shot. He was trailing Mo, he reached in and hit it loose."

Jimmy cracks me up.
