"Oh, it'll be awesome. I think it's like, you know, you've got to give the people what they want. Especially as an appetizer before March Madness, before Selection Sunday, to be able to give college basketball, to deliver for the Big East, in a year where we're not going to get that many teams in the NCAA Tournament. But to have two programs that can make a run this month in that tournament fight it out for the confetti and the net cutting tomorrow is going to be as good a final as there's been in a while here."
"The Huskies had a 7-0 start, building a double-digit halftime lead and stretching the margin to as many as 19 in the second half. By the end, the Huskies had held Georgetown without a field goal for more than six minutes."
UConn enters the Big East Tournament final as the top seed with a 29-4 record after defeating Georgetown 67-51 in the semifinal at Madison Square Garden. The Huskies dominated early with a 7-0 start and built a double-digit halftime lead, eventually stretching their advantage to 19 points while holding Georgetown scoreless for over six minutes. Their opponent, St. John's, arrives at 27-6 after the teams split regular-season meetings. St. John's defeated UConn 81-72 at Madison Square Garden in February, but UConn responded with a dominant 72-40 victory in Connecticut. Coach Dan Hurley emphasizes the significance of this championship matchup as a marquee Big East showcase before March Madness.
