Pick

I’m leaning towards St. John’s here. I’m not rushing to the window to bet this game, but I’ve lost all faith in Butler and don’t trust the Bulldogs to all of a sudden turn it around even with the issues that St. John’s has had on the road, I just trust their offense to show up more than I do Butler’s. The Johnnies have also had the bulk of the success between the two teams, so give me St. John’s in this one.
