HARTFORD, CT- In the midst of a losing streak and without their hall of fame head coach, the UConn Huskies took the court against Big East foe, the St. John’s Red Storm.

The score is misleading as it was not a one-sided affair at all, but the Red Storm picked up the victory when all was said and done. St. John’s by the way finished 13th in the National Rankings last year, and received votes in the rankings for the 2008 campaign as well. Central was coming off a 2-1 record following last weekends tournament held at Detrick Gymnasium.
