Kadary Richmond and Zuby Ejiofor scored 18 points apiece as No. 10 St. John’s routed UConn 89-75 on Sunday to complete its first regular-season sweep of the Huskies in 25 years. Leading scorer RJ Luis Jr.

After Sunday’s 89-75 beatdown at a sold-out Garden, St. John’s has swept its rival for the first time since 1999-2000 and inched closer to the program’s first outright Big East regular season crown since 1985. With a win Wednesday at Butler, the Red Storm can clinch a share of the title.

The Red Storm (24-4, 15-2) improved to 17-0 at home and completed their first season sweep of UConn since the 1999-2000 season, when they last won the Big East tournament and earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
