Connecticut has won both matchups against the Red Storm this season. Rick Pitino is known for his coaching abilities when seeking double revenge in the postseason. The Huskies have already secured a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance, while Johnny is playing to get a higher seed. Pitino's crew can keep this game within the number. I was hoping for 10 points, but that's not happening.
St. John’s have won their last five games. The Red Storm have begun playing their best basketball while on the bubble for an at-large bid. In the first meeting at the Garden against Connecticut, the Red Storm were up by one at half and have shown they can play with them. Now, it’s a matter of putting it all together for the full game against a top team in the country. This is, technically, a home game for St. John’s. They’ve been very efficient from the floor, shooting 64.7%, over their last three games, where Connecticut’s defense can struggle, and have been crashing the boards on both sides of the ball.
