SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. (AP) — Sarah Strong scored 17 points, reserve Blanca Quinonez added 16 points and Azzi Fudd broke out of a brief shooting slump with 14 points as No. 1 UConn beat Seton Hall 92-52 on Saturday.

Seton Hall earned a spot in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in four full seasons on Jan. 12. That's the good news.

St. John’s basketball may be back. The Red Storm entered a pivotal Big East contest against a Seton Hall opponent that shocked the nation with a dominant 14-4 record (4-3 Big East), which also featured a spot in the AP Top 25 at No.

St. John's, which swept 2 games from SHU last season, also played its most recent game Saturday. The Red Storm won their fourth in a row, delivering an 86-79 (Over 147.5) victory at the +2.5 Villanova Wildcats. The Red Storm have shot 51.7% from the floor during their win streak.

St. John’s rallied back from a 15-point second-half deficit to defeat Seton Hall, 65-60, and extend its season-long winning streak to five. The decisive surge was a 20-6 run, during which St. John’s (14-5, 7-1 Big East) pulled ahead, 55-54, on a Dillon Mitchell layup with 4:53 remaining.

Without question, this was my favorite game of the season,” proclaimed Rick Pitino after St. John’s massive 65-60 victory over the Seton Hall Pirates, but a personal “favorite” doesn’t always equal the best or most complete product.
