They shot just 19.6% from the field.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Give [UConn] all the credit,&#8221; said St. John&#8217;s coach Rick Pitino. &#8220;They played a great game. That&#8217;s probably only happened to me two times in my career.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the win, UConn improved to 26-3 overall, 16-2 in the Big East. St. John&#8217;s is 22-6 overall, 15-2 in the Big East. Both teams will be favored in every remaining regular-season game. So them being co-champs with 18-2 league marks remains a possibility because of Tuesday&#8217;s result. Had the game gone the other way, though, the Red Storm would&#8217;ve had a two-game lead in the loss column of the league standings and a strong grip on the outright Big East title.<\/p>\n<p>So that was\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>\u00a0from UConn.<\/p>\n<p>It was a dominant victory &#8212; one so dominant Pitino figured he&#8217;d only been on the wrong side of one of those just one other time in his head-coaching career that started at <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-basketball\/teams\/BU\/boston-university-terriers\/\">Boston University<\/a> in 1978. The win pushed UConn up to No. 10 in the NET, to No. 9 at KenPom.com, to No. 8 at BartTorvik.com and to No. 6 in Thursday morning&#8217;s updated CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings, which caused <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-basketball\/teams\/HOU\/houston-cougars\/\">Houston<\/a>, <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-basketball\/teams\/PURDUE\/purdue-boilermakers\/\">Purdue<\/a> and <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-basketball\/teams\/NEB\/nebraska-cornhuskers\/\">Nebraska<\/a> to be pushed down one spot each in the Top 25 And 1, no fault of their own.<\/p>\n<p>St. John&#8217;s is now No. 18.<\/p>\n<p>Barring a big surprise, the Huskies and Red Storm will be the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the Big East Tournament. That means, if they meet again, the next time will be March 14 in the title game of that event at New York&#8217;s Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<h2>Top 25 And 1 rankings<\/h2>\n<div
