Why not STJ ML?

[ThingsFallApart]

I like them in this matchup. From my rough observation of this team they have the defense to beat Marquette and if their shot falls they can definitely outscore Marq.

Anyone with insight into this one?

Coming from a Marquette fan this game scares me. I can easily see this being a very, very high scoring game.

marqueete home and a great home record...also looks at last night..shows u the power of home court

[Ch3fDan]

Marquette is good in the BC but that still doesn't make this game a lock. They are about the shakiest team in D1 this year. They can play with the best of the best, and play down to the level of the scrubs.

[Covy]

Depends on which St Johns shows up.

[CMNoney]

Because the risk isn't worth the reward. I think it will be a close game either way. +6 is a much smarter play.

If you going to bet stj this would be the time to do it while there hot!

Marquette and Ohio State ML parlay for me. St Johns just played a road game Sunday , legs will be tired. College kids just can't handle playing on the road .

Marquette cant afford to lose any more games like this. St. Johns sucks on the road. Great spot for Marquette. All their losses have been close and to good teams on the road.

st johns is the sucker bet of the day

st johns is the sucker bet of the day

why is that

bad matchup for them


st johns has played very well the last 2 weeks or so, sooner or later they will lay a stinker, and with Marquette going all out for a tourney bid, this is a good spot for it to happen

St. John's is going all out for a tourney bid, too... Marquette isn't the only one fighting for a spot here. I like St. John's to keep it close. I got +6.5...St. John's could definitely win this game though. Even if they don't I like them to keep it close enough.

Marquette vs. top 25 = 3-9
St. John's vs. top 25 = 6-6

Every team will "sooner or later lay a stinker" but why would you assume tonight is the night? Could they? Sure. But I think they cover more than 55% of the time.

[gamble]

probably a toss up for this game, so unless you really want to play it i wouldn't

[CrimsonQueen]

Also... St John's ATS 10-13 (43.48%) ... Marquette ATS 11-6 (64.71%)
These will (if not tonight) start to regress to the mean by the end of the season. (50%)

Also...last 2 times these teams met Marquette won by 2 points both times (in 2010).

Many other good reasons to take St. John's here..but I'm not going to try and convince anyone

[agharah1]

Either this will be a fast paced game with lots of missed layups and both teams shooting sub-30% from 3, or it will be a fast paced game with lots of uncontested layups with ticky tack fouls resulting in a combined 50+ free throws. Fatigue for St. Johns? Are you kidding me? With that depth?

[PaperTrail07]

I think any Marquette team can show up.. SJ ML is prob the choice looking from the outside in

could be right, but st johns has more than enough quality wins right now to make the tourney. Can't say the same for Marquette.

also, before the cincy game, st johns had lost by 7 or more on the road 4 consecutive times
