Moe Harkless scored a team-high 25 points and grabbed nine rebounds, but it wasn’t enough as his Red Storm (13-19) bowed to Pittsburgh (17-15) 73–59 in the opening round of the Big East Tournament Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.

St. John’s freshman forward Moe Harkless was named Big East Honorable Mention Sunday as well as to the conference’s All-Rookie team, where he joined teammate D'Angelo Harrison.

St. John’s freshman forward Moe Harkless was awarded the Big East Rookie of the Week for the second time this season Monday, according to a release on the school’s website.

A new day, a new game, but an all too familiar story for Rutgers basketball.

In the battle for the Empire State, Syracuse showed St. John’s why they’re still the king after a convincing 76-59 victory.
