San Francisco Dons at St. John's Red Storm

Harrison leads St. John's over San Francisco 81-57

JaKarr Sampson scored for 14 St. John's, while Orlando Sanchez chipped in with 11 points and 6 rebounds.

St. John's closed out the first half with a 17-7 run in the final 7:14 to take control. They took a 43-31 advantage to the locker room, and never looked back.

Mark Tollefson led the way for the Dons (6-5) with 14 points. Kruize Pinkins added 12.

USF made 20 of 41 field goal attempts, but committed 21 turnovers.

The win was particularly sweet for St. John's head coach Steve Lavin, a Bay Area-native whose father Cap starred for the Dons more than six decades ago. Lavin's all-time mark at the on-campus Carnesecca Arena improved to 28-4 with the victory.

But the story was the interior play. St. John's out-muscled San Francisco on both ends of the floor. Chris Obekpa blocked four shots for the Red Storm. He added 6 points and 7 rebounds.
