"Nearly three weeks after their first contest, the two top teams in the league standings rematch as UConn welcomes St. John's to town with revenge on their mind. It's a contest that will absolutely help decide the regular season champion of the Big East."
"You won't find many teams on a hotter streak than St. John's (22-5) right now, as the Red Storm have run off 13 wins in a row to put themselves in fantastic shape. They had some shooting and defensive lapses earlier in the year, but Rick Pitino's squad has caught fire at the right time."
"The work out of UConn (25-3) has been impressive once again this season, much like the teams that cut down the nets just two and three seasons ago. The Huskies had their own long streak of success, winning 18 straight games over a long period before St. John's stopped them in their tracks."
St. John's and UConn meet Wednesday in a pivotal Big East regular season matchup that will significantly impact the conference championship race. St. John's enters on a 13-game winning streak with a 22-5 record, having overcome early shooting and defensive issues under Rick Pitino's coaching. UConn maintains an impressive 25-3 record and previously won 18 consecutive games before St. John's halted their streak in their first meeting. UConn suffered a recent home loss to Creighton and cannot afford another flat performance. The winner gains substantial advantage in the regular season title race, with St. John's potentially clinching the conference with another victory.
