The Big East has released the lists of scheduled pairings for all Big East men’s basketball teams, including home opponents, away opponents, and home-and-home pairings (the three teams that a conference member plays twice). For St. John’s, the home and home pairs are:
- Notre Dame (the Irish fans will make more noise at the Garden than the home fans),
- Seton Hall (the most similar local rival; Bobby Gonzalez will probably play the game at SHU’s on campus arena to get the Red Storm back for the slight of playing last year’s game at St. John’s Carnesecca Arena),
- Cincinnati (didn’t we do this last year?)
