St. John's season ended in a disappointing 80-75 loss to No. 1 Duke, a memorable season for the fifth-seeded team. Coach Rick Pitino called for the play that resulted in Dylan Darling's buzzer-beating basket against Kansas, but a potential game-winning 3-pointer was unsuccessful. The loss was further compounded by a missed opportunity for Darling, who hit two 3-pointers in the loss. The team's performance was praised by Darling as a key player in the team's memorable season.
