St. John's vs. Xavier

St. John's had lost three straight before beating Georgetown 94-83 on Dec. 20 and the Red Storm hasn't played since. It had to shoot nearly 50 percent to offset its defensive performance and that has been the problem as the Red Storm allows a .489 shooting percentage overall and .396 from 3-point distance. Meanwhile, Xavier is allowing opponents just 39.5-percent shooting and 31.3 percent from behind the arc. The Musketeers have beaten St. John's the last 10 meetings, with a 5-0-1 ATS mark the last six. Sophomore forward Zach Freemantle leads the team in scoring with 16.7 points per game and rebounding (7.7 rpg). St. John's is 6-13-1 ATS its last 20 road games. Lay the points with Xavier.
