St. John’s will play their second straight game at the Garden tomorrow when they host the UConn Huskies. The Red Storm are coming off a close loss to Villanova, where they were down all game but fought hard late.
UConn comes into this game ranked 24th in the country in the AP Poll, but they have dropped three of their last four games. In their game at Xavier yesterday, the Huskies dropped a close one 68-74.
Against Villanova, the Johnnies were without Posh Alexander, who suffered an ankle injury against Butler on February 5, and were without a full strength Julian Champagnie, who played through an injury he suffered in the first half.
