-> Competitively, it makes a ton of sense – UConn fans have historically marched to the Garden in droves and made their presence heard, even more so recently. Financially – trading the 19,500-seat arena in Manhattan for 5,602 seats in Queens – not so much.

St. John’s is set to contest eight regular season games at Madison Square Garden this season – six in Big East play. The Red Storm have two Big East home games (against Xavier and Butler) at Carnesecca Arena this year and two (DePaul and Seton Hall) at UBS Arena.

“We didn’t sell out against Xavier (at Carnesecca). We didn’t have anybody come to Barclays (Center for Boston College on Dec. 10),” Pitino said. “We don’t have an abundance of fans. We’re not UConn or Villanova with fans, and there’s a reason. We lost the brand. Louie [Carnesecca] has been gone a long time. So we got to build the brand back and the people will come back.” <-

-> The programs haven’t met at Carnesecca Arena since 1990.<-
