The team has won its last two conference games held at Madison Square Garden, including a decisive victory over Butler last season with a score of 65-43. This meeting between St. John’s and UConn will be their fourth encounter at this location and their first since January 2015 during the Maggie Dixon Classic.
UConn enters the game with a streak of 45 consecutive BIG EAST regular-season victories, which began after their last defeat to St. John’s in February 2023, when St. John’s secured a win inside PeoplesBank Arena (formerly known as XL Center).
