St. John’s vs UConn Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
UConn head coach Dan Hurley would probably like to be a little healthier heading into one of the biggest games on the Big East slate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman Liam McNeeley is expected to make his return from injury on Friday, but he has not taken the court since New Years Day. That’s the good news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bad news is that there are several other question marks on the Huskies’ roster. Fellow freshman Ahmad Nowell has already been ruled out after missing the last two games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior guard Hassan Diarra is questionable after being held to a total of eight points in the Huskies’ last two games. Aidan Mahaney is also questionable after playing just seven minutes against Marquette on Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rick Pitino’s Red Storm still have not lost since the calendar turned to 2025. St. John’s has a one-game lead atop the league standings after nine-straight wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll use similar rationale here as we did for USC: We like a road team that doesn’t rely on three-pointers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. John’s is bottom-20 in the country in three-point attempts. Only 22.3-percent of the Red Storm’s points come from beyond the arc. That formula has propelled St. John’s to road wins at Providence, Xavier, Seton Hall and Georgetown.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. John’s vs UConn Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Red Storm only needed three made three-pointers to beat Marquette on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Big East play, St. John’s defense is No. 1 in efficiency, No. 1 in effective field goal shooting allowed, No. 2 in two-point shooting percentage allowed, No. 2 in turnover rate and No. 2 in block rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s a great recipe for road wins in tough environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
