St. John's vs. UConn Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The No. 12 St. John's Red Storm (20-3, 11-1 Big East) have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2024/25 Men's College Basketball season, and their credentials will be tested in a road game against the two-time reigning National Champion No. 19 UConn Huskies (16-6, 8-3 Big East).

These teams have been winning games in opposite ways. The main surprise is that St. John's, a team that did not once enter the AP Poll last season, is ranked ahead of the reigning champs with about a month to go before conference tournaments begin.

Under head coach Dan Hurley, the Huskies tend to outscore their opponents while shooting plenty of threes and making them at a high rate. Rick Pitino's St. John's team, meanwhile, plays suffocating defense and holds opponents to the seventh-lowest average two-point field goal percentage of 43.1 percent.
