In a classic Big East matchup, the No. 1 UConn Huskies faced St. John's at Madison Square Garden. The game was intense, with UConn's Donovan Clingan and Tristen Newton showcasing their skills. However, UConn faced challenges as Clingan got into foul trouble. St. John's led by one point at halftime, with both teams displaying strong performances. UConn's coach, Dan Hurley, expressed confidence in the team's rebounding abilities, while the energy in the arena was palpable.
