The Red Storm clinched a share of the Big East title, but Butler gave them a scare. That's been a theme for the Bulldogs, playing teams tight but not for 40 minutes.

St. John’s is 15-2 in Big East play and only has one loss in 2025. With the Big East regular season title all but wrapped up and the Red Storm coming off an emotional victory over UConn, they could take their foot off the gas against a sub-.500 team like Butler. Pitino may take the opportunity to limit minutes for a few star players.

Rick Pitino and the St. John's Red Storm (24-4, 15-2) travel to the Midwest tonight for a Big East tilt in Indianapolis against the Butler Bulldogs (13-14, 6-10). The Red Storm has lost just once in 2025 winning 13 of their 14 games and climbing up the rankings in the process.
