The Huskies head into the Garden for their one and only visit this season to take on St. John's. I see this as a track meet, lots of running up and down the court. Close close game.

I say St. John's wins a close one. Single digit ending after a series of runs by both teams all game. Lots of lead changes.

What say you posters?

St. John's up 17-7 with 10 to play in the half.

St. John's up 31-20 at the half.

St. John's wins 71-65. The Johnnies go to 7-4 in conference play while UConn goes to 5-4.

Another big win. The Johnnies are for real...!

I'd say it's probably a bit too early to say they're for real. Are they better than they've been recently? Heck yea. Are they a NCAA tourney team? right now, probably not. And- they in last 7 games will be a dog in 5/7 games... @ Syracuse, @ Louisville, USF, Pitt, @ Providence, @ Notre dame, Marquette. 2-5 and it's 17-13 and NIT bound unless they get at least 2 in the tourney(and more likely would need 3). If they could go 3-4 and get a BET win, they're up to 19 wins and likely in the tourney(at like 19-13).

Non-conf will kill them - 1 game against RPI top 50 (Baylor - who is 49). This is a mediocre team -- yet could get in with 1 more solid win. I for one would be pleased if that win was in Syracuse.

they need 4 more wins probably total to get to 19. They must win vs USF, Providence, and then 1st BET game, and then 1 more solid win
