St. John’s survives late refs chaos to reach the Sweet 16
St. John’s rallied to a 67-65 win over Kansas on Dylan Darling’s buzzer-beater, overcoming late controversy over two calls critics said could have cost them a Sweet 16 bid: a backcourt violation called against St. John’s that a deflection should’ve negated, and a boundary sequence near out of bounds. The victory ends a 27-year drought and sets up a date with Duke.
