St. John’s survives Providence after bench-clearing brawl and 20-minute delay
Six players were ejected and the game was delayed about 20 minutes after a benches-clearing fight when Providence’s Duncan Powell fouled Bryce Hopkins. Four St. John’s players—Dillon Mitchell, Ruben Prey, Sadiku Ibine Ayo, Kelvin Odih—and Providence’s Powell and Jamier Jones were ejected as St. John’s overcame a late rally to beat Providence 79-69, extending their win streak to 11; the Big East will review potential additional penalties.
