Rick Pitino knows what it takes to win, and it seems like he found a new starting backcourt when the St. John’s basketball team topped William & Mary on Saturday night, pairing Dylan Darling and Oziyah Sellers together.

It sent prized transfers Ian Jackson and Joson Sanon to the bench, but both looked comfortable in the role and it’s something that could continue for the Red Storm leading into its massive week in Las Vegas at the Players Era Festival.

“I try to play the best players, regardless of reputation,” Pitino explained after the 33-point victory.
