NEW YORK -- If you're a top 10 team and you have plans on visiting New York, avoid Madison Square Garden.
Dwight Hardy scored a career-high 33 points and St. John's took command in the second half in an 89-72 victory over Connecticut (No. 9 ESPN/USA Today, No. 10 AP) on Thursday night, the Red Storm's fourth win over a top-13 team this season at the Garden.Hardy, who was 10 of 17 from the field and 5 of 8 from 3-point range, was coming off a 32-point effort in a loss to UCLA on Saturday where he was 13 of 24 overall and 3 of 6 on 3s."I was in a zone," he said using the shooter's term for being hot, "and when I'm in a zone, I kind of black out."It was UConn that seemed to black out, especially during the second half when the Red Storm outscored the Huskies 54-41.D.J. Kennedy matched his season high with 20 points and had 11 rebounds for St. John's (14-9, 6-5 Big East), which added Connecticut to a list that includes then-No. 13 Georgetown, then-No. 9 Notre Dame and then-No. 3 Duke. The Red Storm are 6-1 at the Garden, their second home court.
