St. John’s vs Creighton Prediction
St. John’s has the ability to blow this game out of the water, but it’s also a look-ahead spot with UConn on deck. St. John’s is also just 13-13 ATS on the season, so this team isn’t making you money. Creighton has underachieved this season, but it’s fresh off an outright win over UConn, the sort of win that potentially turned the season around. We know the talent is there for Creighton; it’s about putting it together.
That win could do wonders for Creighton down the stretch. Early start, which could lead to some sluggish play early. Creighton has a chance to settle in early. This could be a competitive game. Give me the points.
