St. John’s Red Storm vs Marquette Golden Eagles prediction
The St. John’s Red Storm have had issues finishing games against the better teams in the Big East, and that’s why they’ve lost 5 of their last 7 games. The Marquette Golden Eagles already beat St. John’s a couple of weeks ago on the road, and they enter this game playing their best ball of the season, which includes covers in 7 of their last 10 games. Marquette has covered 5 of its last 8 games as a favorite, and many of those games were massive sized lines. At the Fiserv Forum, I have to side with Marquette in this spot.
