Depaul +5.5
The young Red Storm have struggled on the offensive end, averaging 60.5 points over its last four games and are shooting just 27.9 percent from three-point range this season, last in the conference. St. John's is also at the bottom of the league in assists (10.9), assist-turnover ratio (0.8), three-pointers made (4.1) and three-point percentage defense (35.4)

Do not lay points when stats pertaining to a team lacking offensive coordination. As possessions hold more value, the less likely they will score. Depaul's defense in the half court is bad, although their full court pressure forces TO's. St Johns loves to give away possessions.
Texas -2
A resume-boosting upset of the Bears on national TV would go a long way towards helping the Longhorns’ case.

Rankings are meaningless. It always changes, therefore its always wrong. I gave TX a mulligan, getting roasted in Ok St. Wrote it off as a look ahead spot, gearing up for this Big Monday Revenge game. Baylor bad play can not be solved, b/c their coach is incompetent. Baylor is stacked @ every position, w/ a unique lineup of four athletic forwards. All talented, but no one has any idea what to do next.
UConn/Villanova OV136.5
UConn no longer plays defense, with their head coach, Calhoun, out they have taken advantage of the substitute teacher. They are not a cohesive unit, but do not lack for talent. They score, and allow the other team to score. Villanova has a bottom tier defense, and fast paced offense equaling many possessions. Practically shooting a 3pointer
