Marquette -7 buying .5pt
I don't trust St. Johns for shit. Marquette went on a little slide when they lost one of there senior guards due to injury, however they are still anchored by 2 other senior guards and are a very mature team. St Johns is wile and erratic, yes they will have "homecourt" advantage, but the garden is still gonna be half empty and once they go down early the fans will sit down and shut up. Marquette has also played in a lot tougher atmospheres then a half filled garden with even less amount of fans rooting for St Johns. Golden Eagles role in this one.
