Connecticut 65, St. Johns 79
1 2 T Final CONN (14-8) 26 39 65 SJU (15-7) 51 28 79	7:00 PM February 2, 2011 Carnesecca Arena Queens, NY

UConn comes into Queens and gets stomped by the Red Storm. This game wasn't close from
the get go as the Johnnies led by as much as 28 points in the first half. Paced by Paris Horne's
15 first half points, SJU came out of the gates storming while the Huskies couldn't buy a
bucket. Predrag Momplaisir, former SJU target (SJU chose Faulkner over him), scored a career-high 17 points against the Red Storm, perhaps making Coach Roberts re-think the decision of signing Faulkner instead. Either way, UConn was ranked just two short weeks ago, so this is a very good win for the program.

Kennedy and Domercant look like solid bodies on the inside for you.

Hope you can start a nice run in the Big East after this win.

Domercant's points are all garbage points, so he has to get the rebound to really get a shot. He's pretty much like a 7-foot Big Ben. DJ Kennedy is a great rebounder from the small forward position, too.

I'm hoping we can make some serious noise in the Big East the rest of this season and in the conference tournament to get us a good seed in the NCAA tournament.
