St. Johns and UConn treated us to a blast from…

This was a Big East night time straight out of the old-fashioned, straight out of 1985 or so, straight out of the center of an outdated basketball darkness when groups that might barely stand the sight of each other would exchange basketball uppercuts like a couple of proud outdated prizefighters leaking oil and low on fuel. 

We have been told battles like these only belong to yesterday now, to the frayed pages of outdated scrapbooks and grainy video tapes. For a night time, at least, that was confirmed unsuitable. For a night time, all across 40 splendid minutes at Madison Square Garden, St. John’s and Connecticut got here after each other time after time, possession after possession, haymaker after haymaker. 

For one night time, for one sport, we have been transported to that visceral, ebullient peak that these video games always appeared to attain, when the only video games in the entire sport price speaking about have been performed inside the blood-stained, bruise-covered boundaries of the Big East. 

St. John’s received the sport, 81-72, a signature win of what is slowly turning into a signature season.
