I dont see anything wrong with this play ND needs to accumulate some road wins so people start believing in them and this would be a good start for them

i hope ND can do it again. saying they haven't been good on the road doesn't really mean much. they've played so far a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament (syracuse) and a much improved marquette team.

last time ND and SJU met, hansbrogh had a career game, scoring 26. SJU's brownlee had a subpar game, shooting 7 of 18 for 17 pts. SJU as a team was 2-11 for 3 (18%) while they allowed 8-22 (36%). that's a huge disparity from long distance. it was a pretty physical game too. 22 PF for SJU and 20 for ND..with 3 starters having 4+ (4, 4, 5).

nothing else really jumps out at me. turnovers were about the same and so was rebounding.

i really want to go large on ND at +2.5...somebody help convince me that this is a good idea!!!

One would think that eventually Notre Dame would have to get a road victory this year. and I think St. John's and the Garden might be the place.

But I'm all over Notre Dame tomorrow. I know, ranked team, on the road as an underdog usually spells doom...but I think ND is for real and won't have a problem playing on the big stage at MSG. St Johns is much improved under Steve Lavin, but they can't compete night in and night out with the upper teams in the Big East.

I'll be grabbing the 2 with a dash on the ML....

Bad idea you said that this scenario spells doom and your right. Believe what you know and take st. Johns.
