The red-hot St. John’s Red Storm hit the road tonight, looking to extend their nine-game winning streak with a victory over Big East rival UConn.
The Johnnies sit atop the Big East with an 11-1 conference record and are currently ranked 12th in the country.
They face the 19th-ranked Huskies in what marks a striking role reversal — St. John’s is the favorite over a Connecticut program that has enjoyed far more recent success, including two NCAA Tournament championships in the past three years under coach Dan Hurley.
Under the leadership of head coach Rick Pitino, St. John’s has undergone a remarkable revival. But they still have a lot to prove. A win tonight could propel them into the national top 10 for the first time since 2000 and send a clear signal that they are the real deal.
Previous Matchups
The Johnnies enter the matchup not just with momentum, coming off big wins against Marquette and Providence, but also with vengeance on their mind.
The last time the two played was in last year’s Big East semifinals, with UConn delivering St. John’s a heartbreaking 95-90 loss.
