How to watch St. John’s vs UConn men’s basketball for free

With just four games left in the season and Selection Sunday on the horizon, every win counts for the St. John’s Red Storm.

For the second time in five games, they’ll face off against the two-time defending national title holder University of Connecticut Huskies, who they beat 68-62. This time, they’ll do it on their home court.

The matchup comes a few days after an 82-53 win over DePaul University that the Johnnies achieved even while missing a star player.

They’ll likely go without RJ Luis again today.

“I would say RJ is probably going to miss Connecticut with a pulled groin,” coach Rick Pitino said after Wednesday’s win. “This is new for RJ. But RJ is a baller, he wants to play. He has never had a pulled groin before. They can be difficult.”

The Red Storm are the No. 1 team in the Big East Conference, and on Sunday, Feb. 16, the NCAA Selection Committee revealed that they’re currently ranked No. 16 in the first edition of the current top-16 seeds for the 2025 NCAA Tournament, making them the only Big East team in the top 16.

Today, they’ll take the court at Madison Square Garden against UConn. Here’s how you can tune in for free.
