Rick Pitino has brought St. John's back into the limelight in college basketball. Petino, in his 2nd year as coach at St. John's, has quickly transformed the Red Storm into a top-15 team and is getting better. St. John's is 18-3 on the season, and at 9-1 in conference play, they are tied for 1st in the Big East with Marquette at 9-1. The Red Storm are 18-3 overall, outscoring their opponents by 15ppg. St. John's is a top defensive team, allowing 39% shooting and just 33% from deep. Providence is just 11-10 on the season and 5-5 in conference play. The Friars are just 3-6 on the road for the season, and St. John's is 13-0 at home. I see the Red Storm with a comfortable margin here. Make the play on St. John's.

Pro Picks
St. John's at Providence
The Big East doesn't look as strong at the top as last year, but the conference seems much more profound, and every game will be big. Rick Pitino has brought meaningful basketball back to St. John's. His Red Storm team is off to a 9-2 start. Providence is 7-5 on the season but has been a strong team on their home court over the years, and the Friars are allowing opponents just 40% shooting and 30% from deep. Those numbers favor the dog, and a team that can defend itself as a home dog is generally a good bet. Opponents are shooting just 34.3% in the Friar's six home games. Providence is now 16-4 ATS when they failed to cover their previous game. Make the play on Providence.
