No. 6 UConn hosts No. 15 St. John’s at Storrs for the first of their last three games of the regular season.

UConn vs. St. John’s Men’s Basketball Injury Report
UConn Huskies’ Injury Report
The Big East availability report is yet to be released. The latest player to appear on an availability report for the Huskies was a little over a month ago, when Braylon Mullins was out with a concussion for the game against Providence on January 21.
St. John’s Red Storm Injury Report
The Big East availability report is yet to be released. The Red Storm did have several players named in a recent availability report, with Kelvin Odih, Casper Pohto, and Imran Suljanovic declared out for Saturday’s game against Creighton. Ian Jackson was listed as questionable and didn’t ultimately play. Odih was out with right leg soreness, Pohto is out for the year with a chronic hip injury, and so is Suljanovic with a dislocated patella. Jackson was suffering from a right ankle sprain.
UConn vs St. John’s Prediction
The Huskies are the favorites for the game, as it’s to be expected. DraftKings has them as 5.5-point favorites, and the ESPN game predictor is giving them a 69.8% chance of winning. Expect No. 6 UConn to win easily, especially as Dan Hurley wants his team to close out a sketchy February on a high.
Prediction
UConn 90-82 St. John’s
