MILWAUKEE (AP) — Kam Jones scored 23 points and No. 6 Marquette barely avoided a last-minute collapse, topping St. John’s 96-94 for its sixth consecutive victory. St. John’s erased nearly all of a 10-point deficit in the final 21 seconds of regulation and had a chance to tie the game before O’Mar Stanley missed the second of two free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining. Jones got the rebound and hit one of two free throws to complete the scoring.
