Tyrone Grant was St. John's center on their 1999 team that reached the Elite Eight.

Once Dylan Darling’s layup dropped in as the buzzer sounded, Tyrone Grant’s phone lit up like a Christmas tree.
Phone and video calls and text messages came flooding in. They were mostly from familiar numbers — belonging to members of the last St. John’s team to reach the Sweet 16.
“I probably had 10 out of the 13 [guys on the team] call me or text me less than a minute after that shot,” Grant told The Post in a phone interview Tuesday. “Everybody was watching, everybody was listening and everybody was excited, baby.”
The emotional leader and starting center on the 1998-99 Elite Eight team, Grant has spent a lot of time around these Johnnies over the last season.
