NEW YORK -- The crowd of UConn fans at Madison Square Garden was starting to get loud.
After jumping out to a 22-point lead against the two-time defending champions, St. John's looked to be giving it all away. In four minutes, the Huskies cut the lead to nine, forcing Rick Pitino to call a timeout.
But before the coach could get a word in, Zuby Ejiofor chimed in.
"We got in a huddle and Zuby said, 'Look, we've battled injuries. We don't wilt. We've been there before. We know what to do,'" Pitino said.
