Meanwhile, the Storm are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 overall and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 after an ATS loss. The over is 4-0 in St. John’s last four Monday games.

PICK: I’m going to stay with Seton Hall, even though that line is a little thick for my liking. Neither one of these teams shot all that well in Saturday’s game: the Pirates hit just 33.8 percent from the floor and St. John’s was at 29.3 percent. Seton Hall also coughed up 17 turnovers to St. John’s nine, but the Pirates’ saving grace was their 60-43 rebounding advantage. 

This rematch is likely going to be another dogfight, but with the change in location Seton Hall should be much more comfortable. I like this one to be tight most of the way with the Pirates eking out a cover late.
