New Mexico visits No. 22 St. John’s after Donovan Dent scored 25 points in New Mexico’s 100-81 win over the Texas A&M-CC Islanders. St. John’s went 20-13 overall a season ago while going 12-4 at home.

New Mexico coach Richard Pitino plans on being his father’s adversary on Sunday afternoon. He has no intention of being his successor at St. John’s whenever his father, Hall of Famer Rick Pitino, retires.

Much of the build-up for Sunday’s St. John’s vs. New Mexico is — predictably — about the father-son coaching matchup of Rick Pitino and his son Richard. The Pitinos will square off for the fourth time in their careers.
