Rider vs. St. John's

Rider has played just one game on the season and comes in with a strong 4-1 start to the season. They were destroyed by Syracuse as they started slow and never recovered. This is St. John's final tune-up before embarking onto Big East play, and there is a good chance they are not entirely focused here and give this game its full attention. And despite that, there should be ample garbage time. Moreover, Rider has returned no starters from last season, the depth is short and the quality of the starters not very strong. They are going to be hard-pressed to score here, and with a lot of garbage time, look for this game to stay UNDER the total. Play the UNDER.
