No. 6 UConn took a significant step towards the Big East regular season championship by defeating No. 15 St. John's 72-40. The Huskies' suffocating defense was the story, limiting the Red Storm to just 40 points and holding them scoreless for extended stretches. Tarris Reed Jr. anchored the performance with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and six blocks. This victory places UConn in sole possession of first place in the Big East Conference. The Huskies will next host Seton Hall on Saturday. This game is part of UConn's final push for the regular season title, with another key matchup against Marquette scheduled for March 7.
