The two most recent Big East champions are set to face off in the final of the 2026 Big East Tournament.
With a spot in the NCAA tournament on the line, will it be the St. John’s Red Storm with a second consecutive victory, or will the UConn Huskies take the title back?
The Red Storm held onto a diminishing lead late in the semifinals against Seton Hall, thanks to Big East Player of the Year Zuby Ejiofor.
“We’re playing for a championship,” coach Rick Pitino said after St. John’s 18th win in its last 19th games. “We played for the regular season [title] as if our life was on the line. We’re going to play tomorrow as if our life is on the line.”
No. 2 seed UConn punched its ticket to the final with a 67-51 win over No. 11 Georgetown.
Head to head, the Johnnies and Huskies split the season series this year; the Feb. 25 loss to UConn was one of just two Big Ten losses for St. John’s this season.
Today’s (March 13) St. John’s vs. Seton Hall game is scheduled to tip off at 5:30 p.m. ET.
