UConn has stormed back to take control of the race for the Big East Regular Season Champion.
The Huskies have been following a pattern for the past four seasons (if you include this year): they finished fourth in the Big East with a 13-7 record in 2022-23 (before winning the national title), went 18-2 and won the conference title in 2023-24 (en route to another national title), and finished third in the conference with a 14-6 record in 2024-25, indicating that UConn should bounce back and dominate the Big East this season — if the pattern holds.
So far, so good. The Huskies are considered heavy favorites to win the regular-season title for the second time in three years, even with a loss to St. John's.

Big East Regular Season Champion Odds
Behind UConn, there is one main contender that could knock the Huskies out of the top spot. St. John's was extremely disappointing in the non-conference portion of the season, but the Red Storm are still in the thick of the title race, and currently own the head-to-head tiebreaker over UConn and third-place Villanova.
Speaking of Villanova, the Wildcats have surged to the top portion of the standings in their first year under Kevin Willard, dominating the bottom half of the league to currently sit in third place. However, Villanova has a tall task to win the conference title, as it will likely need to win both its rematches against UConn and St. John's to have a shot at the title.
The rest of the conference has hovered around or below .500 for most of the season, and no one else is close enough to even catch Villanova before the season ends.
