This showdown between two of the Big East’s best will be a hard-fought battle, but UConn has the edge in this matchup. While St. John’s currently sits atop the conference standings, their offensive struggles could be their downfall. The Red Storm rank ninth in the Big East in field goal percentage and dead last in three-point shooting, averaging just 73 points per game. Their inconsistency on offense will be difficult to overcome against a UConn team that is starting to build momentum.

At times, the Huskies haven’t looked like a team ready to chase a third straight national title, but their recent road win over Marquette could be the spark they need. UConn leads the Big East in scoring and three-point percentage while ranking second in overall shooting efficiency. Defensively, they have also been solid, allowing just 72 points per game in conference play.

This game should remain close throughout, likely decided by five points or fewer. However, a glaring issue for St. John’s could make the difference—free throw shooting. The Red Storm are hitting just 68.4% from the line this season and have been even worse lately, shooting under 60% in two of their last three games. Against a disciplined UConn team, those missed opportunities will prove costly. Expect the Huskies to capitalize on St. John’s offensive inefficiencies and free-throw woes, securing a crucial win as they look to gain momentum in the Big East. Take UConn ATS
