Big East releases conference schedule

The Big East conference released their full schedule for the upcoming season this Tuesday.

The conference season begins for St. John’s on December 28th, as they will host the Providence Friars. That contest will be played at Carnesecca Arena. What follows is a road contest to Seton Hall on New Year’s Eve.

The home slate only includes three conference games at Madison Square Garden. They host Villanova, Georgetown, and Seton Hall at the World’s Most Famous Arena.

St. John’s is also featured on Fox twice against Duke and Seton Hall. The Red Storm are featured on FS1 ten times this season, and CBS Sports Network five times. The rest of the contests are hosted on the Fox family of networks, with two contests on ESPNNews and ESPNU respectively.
