Xavier routed St. John's in its Big East Tournament opener, 88-60, but what happened late in the game and afterward had fans talking, at Madison Square Garden and on social media.
St. John's might not have loved Sean O'Mara's dunk with 3.8 seconds left in a 26-point game when Xavier could have dribbled the clock out. There is an unspoken etiquette among college basketball teams in the final moments of the game, and this case was iffy because O'Mara's dunk came with 1 second left on the shot clock.
