NEW YORK — UConn fans made Madison Square Garden their home away from home on Saturday, showing up in droves to support the men’s basketball team as it got an early look at the conference tournament site with a game against St John’s.
They were the only ones cheering by the end as the Huskies battled the chippy Red Storm to a 95-86 victory that never seemed in question.
The win brings an end to the Huskies’ so-called “revenge tour.” January Big East losses to the Red Storm, Providence, Marquette and Seton Hall were all avenged with wins in February. UConn has now won three straight and six of seven.
