March Madness is just about a week away — but before the NCAA tournament can get started, conference champions must be crowned first.
The Big East Conference, which includes the two-time defending NCAA champion UConn Huskies and the St. John’s Red Storm, who are the No. 6 ranked team in the AP Top 25, will play their championship tournament this week, and luckily for fans of the Johnnies, the tournament is local.
All 11 teams in the Big East will play at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, during the four-day tournament. St. John’s is entering as the No. 1 seed with a bye into the quarterfinal round.
Whichever school wins the Big East title will receive an automatic bid into the 2025 NCAA tournament.
If you want to be there for any session of the tournament, tickets are available for individual sessions or you can purchase a pass that’ll give you access to every game.
