Kadary Richmond led No. 15 St. John's to a dramatic 68-66 victory over Providence, scoring the game-winning jumper with three seconds left.

Richmond finished with 24 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, showcasing his rise as a key player for St. John's, especially with teammate Deivon Smith returning from injury. RJ Luis Jr. contributed 19 points and Zuby Ejiofor added 13 points for St. John's, which has now won eight straight games. Jabri Abdur-Rahim led Providence with a career-high 27 points, hitting eight three-pointers, but it wasn't enough to secure the win. This victory marks St. John's best start to a season since the 1985-86 season and strengthens their position in the Big East standings.
