During a pregame meal, at halftime and down the stretch, St. John's Coach Steve Lavin emphasized rebounding.
The Red Storm responded Saturday, outrebounding No. 14 Cincinnati, 40-34, en route to a 53-52 upset and their first Big East victory of the season.
The host Bearcats (13-2, 1-1) began the day second in the nation in rebounding, with 45.3 per game, but St. John's (9-5, 1-1) was the more physical team.
Four of the previous five games between the teams had been decided by 2 points. After St. John's built a 12-point lead early in the second half, it looked as if that trend would end. But Cincinnati fought back, taking a 52-51 lead in the final minute.
The Red Storm regained the lead when D'Angelo Harrison hit a jumper with 29 seconds left. Harrison finished with 15 points.
