Kellen Amos is averaging 18.5 points and 1.5 assists, while Andre Snoddy is averaging 12 points and 1 assist.

The only reason to be hesitant with the St. John’s Red Storm is because this is a look ahead spot with Nebraska on deck later in the week. The Central Connecticut Blue Devils have serious flaws at both ends of the floor, and they simply don’t have the talent to go toe to toe with the Red Storm. This line may be thick once it’s released, but I’ll lay it anyway with St. John’s.
