The Red Storm men’s basketball team will try for the regular season sweep of the Friars at 7 p.m. on CBS Sports Network
QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's men's basketball team will travel to Providence for a Tuesday night showdown with the Friars at Amica Mutual Pavilion. The Johnnies will try to complete the regular season sweep of the Friars at 7 p.m. inside Amica Mutual Pavilion.
CBS Sports Network will carry the national broadcast for the 124th all-time meeting between St. John's (14-10, 6-7) and Providence (15-9, 6-7), CBS Sports announcers Tom McCarthy and Chris Walker will call the action with Jon Rothstein reporting from the sideline. An audio broadcast of the game on the LEARFIELD Red Storm Sports Network with John Minko and Tarik Turner will also be available on a variety of platforms including the Varsity Network App, TuneIn Radio, RedStormSports.com and the St. John's Red Storm mobile app. The radio broadcast can also be heard on SiriusXM channel 385 and the SiriusXM App.
St. John's will look to rebound on Tuesday after its recent setback on the road at No. 7/7 Marquette. Daniss Jenkins led four Red Storm players in double figures, as the 6-foot-4 point guard scored 22 points and hit four 3-pointers. Over the last four games, the Dallas native has elevated his play by averaging 20.0 points, shooting 53.6 percent (30-56 FG) from the field.
The Red Storm aims to complete the regular season sweep of Providence for the first time since the 2020-21 season. On Jan. 10 at Madison Square Garden, the Red Storm edged the Friars, 75-73, behind 16-point performances from Jenkins and Joel Soriano. RJ Luis Jr. also recorded 12 points and eight rebounds in the victory. The sophomore wing from Miami helped seal the game with a key offensive rebound and a free-throw in the final five seconds before Jayden Pierre's potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark.
The Johnnies will look for its first win at Providence since Feb. 6, 2021, when the Red Storm knocked off the Friars, 92-81, inside Alumni Hall. Julian Champagnie posted a 24-point, 10-rebound effort, while Rasheem Dunn tallied 13 points and 10 assists in the 11-point victory.
A victory on Tuesday would also mark the Red Storm's first win inside Amica Mutual Pavilion, formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts Center, since earning a 91-86 victory on Jan. 25, 2017. Marcus LoVett and Shamorie Ponds scored 26 and 22 points, respectively, to help lead St. John's.
Providence has dropped three of its last four contests and is coming off a 75-72 setback at Butler on Saturday. Corey Floyd, Jr. led Providence with 20 points and hit three 3-pointers. Devin Carter finished with 18 points and five rebounds. The Friars' last victory came on Feb. 7 in a 91-87 overtime thriller over Creighton at Amica Mutual Pavilion. Josh Oduro (32 points, 12 rebounds) and Devin Carter (28 points, 11 rebounds) each recorded double-doubles against the Bluejays to help the Providence improve to 12-2 at home this season.
In six BIG EAST home games, Carter has led the Friars averaging 21.8 points and 4.0 assists to go with 8.2 rebounds per game. Oduro has posted 21.0 points, shooting 54.7 percent from the field at Amica Mutual Pavilion this season.
After visiting Providence, the Red Storm will host Seton Hall on Sunday at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. Tip-off is set for 5 p.m.
