St. John's held on to beat Rutgers 65-63 in the second round of the 2011 Big East Tournament, with the last few seconds packed full of questionable calls. The one that's going to get the most attention: St. John's' Justin Brownlee stepped out of bounds with 1.7 seconds left, yet the clock didn't stop. He even traveled before stepping out and threw the ball with time left. Any of these events should've resulted in Rutgers ball near half-court with a chance to tie or take the lead.

These things happen, but a couple of them just happened in the favor of the home team.

The Storm will get Big East No. 4 Syracuse in the quarterfinals. Might that be the Syracuse team that has won five in a row, or the Syracuse team that lost six of eight before going on that winning streak? Probably the latter! In their one meeting this season, Cuse trounced St. John's, 76-59.
