UConn vs. St. John’s Preview: Pitino’s Pressure vs. Hurley’s Execution
Round 2 between St. John's Red Storm and the UConn Huskies tips off tonight in Hartford. The spread currently sits at UConn -5.5 with a game total of 146.5 on Fanduel Sportsbook. The matchup dynamics are fascinating after what we saw at Madison Square Garden. St. John’s took Round 1, 81–72, and despite the nine-point margin, shot-quality metrics suggested it played more like a 15+ point win, which matches the eye test. UConn shot 47% (9-19) from three, many of them contested, and an absurd 55% from the field overall… and still lost comfortably. That’s a red flag.
