St. John's basketball to visit Seton Hall in primetime, full tipoff times released

The St. John's basketball schedule is officially complete.

Weeks after the Big East publicized its league schedule, tipoff times and television networks have been finalized for the matchups.

St. John's begins conference play at home on Tuesday, December 17 against DePaul and Red Storm fans who are not in attendance at Carnesecca Arena will get its first taste of the new media deal in the league with the game broadcasted on Peacock.

The Big East announced a partnership with NBC Sports and TNT Sports which will broadcast games on its variety of networks throughout the year, while also maintaining its contract with FOX Sports.

The Johnnies will have four games on Peacock during the regular season, which also includes a non-conference matchup against Harvard on November 30.

Rick Pitino's squad will appear on national television for the first time during conference play on Friday, December 20 with an 8 p.m. ET tipoff in Providence on FOX. The Red Storm will have a guaranteed four Big East games on national television this season with that number being able to grow as high as six contests.

As expected, both regular season games against UConn will be nationally televised on Friday, February 7 inside Gample Pavilion (8 p.m. ET, FOX) and Sunday, February 23 at Madison Square Garden (12 p.m. ET, FOX).

The other guaranteed game to be broadcasted throughout the country will be in Queens as Seton Hall plays in Carnesseca on Saturday, March 1. Tipoff will be at 2:15 p.m. ET on CBS.

However, the matchup with the Pirates that everyone is looking forward to could also be flexed into a national t.v. spot. St. John's will travel to Newark on Saturday, January 18 for an 8 p.m. ET tip as Kadary Richmond makes his return to the Prudential Center. The game will either be broadcasted on FOX or FS1.

The only game that does not have a designated start time is the regular season finale on the road against Marquette, which also serves as an unconfirmed broadcast network of FOX or FS1.

The Red Storm will also play in front of a national audience during the latest installment of the Big East vs. Big 12 Battle against Kansas State (11:30 a.m. ET, FOX).

St. John's returns to a weekend primetime matchup at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, January 11 for a 7:00 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network) tipoff against Villanova.
