St. John's loses at San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO -- De'End Parker scored 21 points and hit a pair of three-pointers during a decisive second-half run as San Francisco snapped St. John's four-game winning streak with an 81-65 victory last night to spoil Red Storm coach Steve Lavin's return to his hometown.

Cody Doolin added 18 points and a career-high 14 assists to go with two steals and two blocks for the Dons (5-1), who won their fifth in a row since a season-opening loss to Stanford.

JaKarr Sampson scored 22 points to lead St. John's (6-3). D'Angelo Harrison added 14 points but went 1-for-6 on three-pointers as the Storm didn't have a second-half comeback in them this time as has been their winning formula so far. -- AP
