St. John's at Seton Hall

A young St. John's squad has a winning record the last 13 games, off a 78-68 win over DePaul. They also beat Butler and Syracuse as +8.5 and +14 dogs. The Johnnies nailed 12 three-pointers against DePaul, which marked the 10th time this season the team finished with double digits in the three-point column. Tariq Owens had four blocks and leads the Big East with 2.5 swats per game. Seton Hall has lost its past three games, falling to Marquette (89-86), Providence (65-61), and Villanova (76-46). They were favored against Providence, and the Pirates are 3-7-1 ATS as chalk. In the last meeting at Madison Square Garden, Seton Hall escaped with a 62-61 victory. This shapes up as another close one, so back the big dog. Play St. John's.
