Connecticut and St. John's are playing in the Big East Championship game in Madison Square Garden, meeting for the third time this season. St. John's won the first meeting at home on February 6th, and Connecticut returned the favor on February 25th, but Connecticut put a beatdown on St. John's 72-40, staying under the total of 144.5. St. John's has won their last five games since then, covering four of them. They've had their best success by playing a controlled, slow-down pace, keeping eight of their last nine games under the total. Why change now at the most critical junction of their season? They've stayed under 20 of their 33 games this season. I like them to stay under today.
