No. 17 St. John's Win over Providence Marred by Brawl
- On Feb 14, 2026, a hard foul by Providence forward Duncan Powell on Bryce Hopkins sparked a fracas that led to six ejections and a nearly 20-minute delay in Providence.
- The backdrop of Hopkins' prior stint at Providence and St. John's 20-5 record contributed to tensions, as Hopkins faced persistent hostility from Providence fans who booed him on Jan. 3.
- Referees paused play for nearly 20 minutes as officials sorted punishments, naming six players ejected: four from St. John's and two from Providence.
- The stoppage altered momentum, as Providence Friars' one-point lead became a deficit and St. John's Red Storm won 79-69 with Duncan Powell assessed a Flagrant 2 and ejected.
- A later Flagrant 2 by Jamier Jones led Rick Pitino to try restraining players as fans chanted 'Duncan Powell!'.
