NEW YORK -- In two memorable regular-season games, St. John's went toe-to-toe and outlasted Marquette. Whoever makes enough plays to win the third meeting will get a chance to play for the Big East tournament championship. Top-seeded St. John's (28-4) will attempt to advance to the title game for the first time since 2000 while fifth-seeded Marquette (23-9) will seek a third straight trip to the final when the two teams meet in the first semifinal on Friday evening. They are the only two ranked teams in the tournament; St. John's is No. 6 and Marquette is No. 25.
