In a game where both teams had several missed opportunities, St. John’s missed more and fell to UConn, 63-60.
Both teams had many clean looks at their baskets that were missed far more frequently than any coach will be satisfied with. However, in this game, UConn happened to convert one or two more, which were enough to put the Red Storm away.
In the first half, it was looking dicey with UConn’s Adama Sanogo scoring the first 6 points for the Huskies. However, seemingly by design, the Red Storm targeted Sanogo when he was on defense and the big picked up a pair of fouls after only seven minutes of play.
