The No. 12 St. John's Red Storm (20-3) roll into Harry A. Gampel Pavilion riding a nine-game winning streak, looking to extend their dominance against the No. 19 UConn Huskies (16-6). This highly anticipated Big East clash tips off at 8:00 PM ET on Friday and will be broadcast on FOX.
St. John's has been the model of consistency, avoiding back-to-back losses all season. They stormed out of the gate with four straight victories before hitting a brief rough patch, going 1-2 in a three-game stretch with a win over Virginia sandwiched between defeats to Baylor and Georgia. However, they quickly found their rhythm again, rattling off impressive wins over Harvard, Kansas State, Bryant, DePaul, Providence, and Delaware before taking a hit against Creighton. Since then, the Red Storm have been unstoppable, stacking up nine straight wins and looking like a true Big East contender.
The Huskies have had their share of highs and lows, but when they’re clicking, they’re a tough squad to handle. UConn also started 4-0, but then stumbled with three straight losses to Memphis, Colorado, and Dayton. They rebounded impressively, stacking up victories over MD Eastern Shore, Baylor, Texas, Gonzaga, Xavier, Butler, DePaul, and Providence before running into a 2-3 slump. Now, they’re looking to get back on track and defend their home court against a red-hot St. John’s team.
