Senior Lorin Dixon gets the start at point guard for UConn ahead of fellow New York native Bria Hartley. I haven't heard a specific reason for Dixon making her third start of the season but it would be typical for UConn coach Geno Auriemma to reward Dixon by letting her start in her final collegiate game game at UConn.

The other starters are the same (Maya Moore, Tiffany Hayes, Kelly Faris and Stefanie Dolson) while Sky Lindsay, Da'Shena Stevens (a former Trinity Catholic star), Nadirah McKenith, Centhya Hart and Shenneika Smith will start for St. John's.

With a win, UConn coach Geno Auriemma would become the seventh Division I women's basketball coach with 750 career wins.

I don't anticipate updating the game on this blog but will be tweeting during the game @NHRJimFuller
