"St. John's missed 24-straight field goals to end their game vs. UConn, with their last coming at 17:28 in the second half. That is the longest streak of missed FG by an AP-ranked team in the last eight seasons and the longest by any Division I team since 2022."
"That's probably only happened to me two times in my career. It's all on me. I'm very disappointed in our performance on offense, especially. But we'll get ready for Villanova. We're still playing for a league championship. Doesn't matter if you lose by one or 40."
No. 15 St. John's suffered a historic offensive collapse against No. 6 UConn, falling 72-40 after trailing 41-26 at halftime. The Red Storm's last field goal came with 17:28 remaining in the second half, followed by 24 consecutive missed shots—the longest streak by an AP-ranked team in eight seasons and any Division I team since 2022. St. John's went scoreless for nearly 10 minutes before a free throw broke a 16-0 UConn run. Head coach Rick Pitino took responsibility for the offensive performance, noting such collapses rarely occur in his career. Despite the loss, St. John's remained focused on upcoming conference play and the league championship.
