We are going to be talking about this game just like we talk about Christian Laettner in 1992.
Braylon Mullins just created one of the greatest moments in the history of the NCAA Tournament.

Via ESPN Research: St. John's 24 straight misses to end the game is the longest game-ending streak by a Division I team in at least the last eight seasons.
It's also the Red Storm's largest loss as a ranked team since 1960.
Connecticut. St. John’s.
Rick Pitino. Dan Hurley.
The Rematch.
A massive game in the Big East regular season title race and a great opportunity to bolster the resume.
Tonight. 7 ET. NBCSN and Peacock.
"[Thad Matta's] one of the best college coaches... I've got so much respect for that guy." 🤝
Dan Hurley with nothing but respect for the Butler HC as he spoke with @JaredSGreenberg after the win 🗣️
We are following reports of a crash in Louisville possibly involving a UPS MD-11. Based on the timing and loss of data from the flight, we are working to confirm if the flight involved is #5X2976 operated by N259UP. Details are currently UNCONFIRMED. https://t.co/SWTMMxjTGs
HORRIBLE: WORST CASE scenario is unfolding. Really, I am near a loss of words. "Last chance to protect your life at all costs" is the words from the NHC. Melissa is about to make landfall at its strongest intensity. A humanitarian disaster is about to unfold. The hurricane hunters detected 252 MPH gusts 300 feet off the ocean surface. 185 MPH max sustained winds and 220+ MPH gusts in the eyewall about to obliterate Black River area.
Oh my goodness. Is #Melissa about to start another round of intensification?
Cloud tops have cooled significantly over the past hour. It looks like the eye is contracting a bit too.
BREAKING: The Hurricane Hunters have found BIRDS in Melissa's eye.
Tens of thousands have likely been sucked into the eye, unable to fight against the strong inward winds.
Most of these bird are trapped. Sometimes they can’t escape until the storm weakens, unless they encounter an island and can hunker down on land.
During the Great Hurricane of 1938, tropical birds were transported all the way to New England!
Over the open ocean, the birds have no place to land. Some fall out of the sky and die from exhaustion.
Ships and barges that sail through a storm’s eye routinely are descended upon by hundreds of birds. After all, the birds can’t find any place else to land and rest; a ship at sea is a platform on which to briefly recover.
During Hurricane Ian in 2022, I witnessed flocks of birds in the eye appearing disoriented. I also saw birds in the eye of Idalia in 2023. We can routinely spot birds on radar in the eyes of hurricanes too.
