Point Spread Pick
St. John's Win -6.5(-110)

This is the Red Storm’s first real shot at a quality opponent since their dramatic crash out from March Madness. No disrespect to Quinnipiac, we love the Bobcats and think they are a contender for the MAAC but compared to an outfit like Alabama who has SEC and top seed in March ambitions, this is a heavyweight counterpart. This is the epitome of a get-right spot for the Johnnie’s and they are favored to do just that.

Let’s look at the tale of the tape, Alabama is an outfit that loves to run the court, score at will, and dial up from beyond the arc. The Johnnie’s? They can score too but their calling card is leading with their defense and playing an in-your-face style of game which is a good counter to the Tide’s brand of basketball. In such scenarios, it’s prudent to side with the team of SJU’s profile. Add in the fact, this game is being played in New York with a rabid fan base clamouring for a result after last year’s trip up against the Hogs back in the Round of 32 and you have all the ingredients for a St. John’s win, convincing to that end. Lay the points.

Alabama vs. St. John’s prediction: St. John’s -6 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -7.
