Randy’s Pick
The St. John’s Red Storm are the better, more talented team and could blow the doors off if they wanted to. However, St. John’s hasn’t played in a week, so there could be rust. Also, St. John’s has a date with West Virginia lurking, so there’s a potential look ahead spot here. The Holy Cross Crusaders don’t get these chances often, and they’ve shown flashes offensively. Holy Cross will easily be the more motivated side. Give me the points.
