Pick
I’m sticking with the over here. I get the case to be made for backing or fading either side here, but Georgetown’s road defense has been brutal and St. John’s can put up points, but the Red Storm haven’t been very good defensively in their own right and I just feel like this is going to be a high-scoring game. Give me the over here.
