St. John’s, currently at the top of the Big East as the only undefeated team in the conference (because they have only played one game, and it was a win), travels to ranked Providence to take on a resurgent Friars squad.
The Friars, with wins over Wisconsin, Texas Tech, Northwestern, Connecticut and Seton Hall, are coming off of a blowout loss to Marquette — with guard AJ Reeves sidelined with a finger injury.
Expect the Friars to want to put on a good show against the Johnnies and execute better than in that loss.
