St. John’s vs Fairleigh Dickinson College Basketball Picks, Best Bets and Odds 11/20/2021

The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights and the St. John’s Red Storm meet in college basketball action from the Carnesecca Arena on Saturday.

The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights come into this game looking to bounce back from an 82-46 loss to Northwestern last time out. Brandon Rush leads the Knights in scoring with 12 PPG while Devon Dunn has 8.5 PPG with 1.5 APG as well this season. Pier-Olivier Racine also has a team-high 4 RPG sa well for the Knights so far this season. As a team, Fairleigh-Dickinson is averaging 47.5 PPG on 28.9% shooting from the field, 10% from three and 70.3% from the foul line while allowing 87.5 PPG on 50.4% shooting from the field and 52.3% from three this season.

The St. John’s Red Storm will be out to bounce back from a 76-74 loss to Indiana in their last game. Julian Champagnie leads the Red Storm in scoring with 24.7 PPG along with 5 RPG while Posh Alexander has 13.3 PPG with 7.3 APG and Tareq Coburn has 10 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorrers for St. John’s so far this season. Stef Smith has 9 PPG and Joel Soriano has 7.7 PPG and a team-high 8 RPG. As a team, St. John’s is averaging 94.7 PPG on 54.9% shooting from the field, 43.2% from three and 80.3% from the foul line this season.

Fairleigh Dickinson is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record. St. John’s is 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 home games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 Saturday games.

This feels like a lot of points to be giving up with the Red Storm, but the two wins against lesser opponents for the Johnnies came in rather convincing fashion. Fairleigh Dickinson just hasn’t been able to cut it early on this season and I envision this game being no different as the Johnnies win this one by 30+.
