Preview

St. John's (3-8, 12-11) sits in a disappointing 12th in the Big East. After starting the season off 9-1, the Red Storm have gone 3-10, and their upcoming schedule (Cincinnati, Marquette, Duke) doesn't provide a lot of reason to hope.

The Bearcats (6-5, 16-8) have been very successful recently. After starting conference play 0-3, they have gone 6-2 and upset some big name Big East schools, including Georgetown twice and Notre Dame once.

Another one of those wins came on the road a Madison Square Garden, when Cincinnati upset St. John's 71-60.

Since that game, St. John's has won two of their Big East three (although they were wins over Rutgers and South Florida—two teams beneath them in the standings), and Cincinnati has upset Georgetown twice and Notre Dame once, and lost to a very hot Villanova team.

Cincinnati is in the midst of proving that they are a team worthy of dancing, and a sweep of St. John's can only help. After St. John's, the Bearcats travel to Pittsburgh before hosting Louisville and Syracuse.
