Game storylines
Xavier vs. No. 3 UConn
UConn (11-0 Big East, 21-1 overall) has a 17-game winning streak that is the third-longest in program history with Quad 1 wins over BYU (in Boston), Illinois (in NYC), Kansas (at Allen Fieldhouse) and Florida (in NYC).

In its last game, Xavier (4-7 Big East, 12-10 overall) rallied from an 18-point second-half deficit to beat DePaul 68-66 on a buzzer-beater by Filip Borovicanin.
No. 22 St. John’s vs. DePaul
St. John’s (9-1 Big East, 16-5 overall) is on a seven-game winning streak in which head coach Rick Pitino has joined Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim and Roy Williams as the fourth coach with 900 men’s Division 1 victories. The Red Storm has begun Big East play at 9-1 for the second consecutive season for the first time since 1998-99. St. John’s, which still will face No. 2 UConn twice in February, defeated Butler 92-70 last week with 18 points from Ian Jackson.
DePaul (4-7 Big East, 12-10 overall) have lost consecutive games for the first time since December after a 68-66 loss Saturday to Xavier. CJ Gunn had 19 points for the Blue Devils, who squandered an 18-point lead with 13:35 left and lost at the buzzer.

Indiana vs. USC
On a three-game winning streak, Indiana (6-5 Big Ten, 15-7 overall) is playing back into NCAA Tournament contention after a four-game skid wrecked a 12-3 start under first-year head coach Darian DeVries.
Behind 26 points by Nick Dorn and 24 apiece by Reed Bailey and Lamar Wilkerson, the Hoosiers beat UCLA 98-97 on the road Saturday in a double-overtime thriller after blowing a 10-point lead with under 2 minutes to play.
USC (5-6 Big Ten, 16-6 overall) can match last season’s victory total with a win. They struggled Saturday to beat Rutgers 78-75 at home but the 1-2 punch of Chad Baker-Mazara (18.9 points per game) and Utah transfer Ezra Ausar (16.1 ppg) has been bolstered by the return of star freshman Alijah Arenas.
