    Large Wager on St Johns Basketball Today

    I know this team Texas A&M better than anybody, which is my alma mater. They are an overrated team and should not be favored -1 playing St. Johns at the Garden. I made the biggest wager of my life when they played Oklahoma in football 2 weeks ago and that was a winner http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/college-fo...r-my-life.html.

    St. Johns played well against a great Arizona team last night and look for them to push the tempo which will be A&M's weakness. A&M's only strength is playing down low which will get eaten up by a very physical St Johns's team. Look for the the Johnnies to jump on them right out of the gates and win this by 15+ points.

    Meh! They are playing for 3rd place in a 4-team tourney.
    Hard to gauge the motivation of the teams and as such can't make a play here.

    St Johns fouls a lot, plays bad defense, and can not hit free throw shots.

    I'm not knocking your play, rather stating my opinion on St. Johns overall. They are starting three freshmen also. TX A&M is w/o their best player which is huge, and looked inept againszt the worst coached team in NCAAB.
    Good Luck

    That OU game looked easy but had to sweat it out in the end. Didn't A&M get down 30 and battle back to make it a game?

    You say the only advantage A&M has is down low. Did you see the St Johns game last night? Half the johnnies were in foul trouble by the end of the first half. They love to foul. Also, St Johns barely beat lowly Lehigh at home last week and Lehigh lost that game in the end, St Johns didnt win it. BOL with your plays here, but this game will be a pass for me.

    completely understandable but sometimes teams play down to their opponent and its very early in the season. you gotta shake off a little rust to get going. i feel like giving the aggies -1 at madison square guarden is just way too much respect. oddsmakers are looking at their #18 ranking while making this line and its just not right.

    thanks for the insight I LOVED Miss St yesterday, went on them pretty big but wish I'd gone bigger

    Not sure about here though St John's is young, but I hear you, might go on them small

    I think God'sgift Achiuwa will be a key factor

    Also like the way Nurideen and Sir'Dominic are playing

    Miss. St. crowded the paint against an A&M team that does most of it's damage in the paint. Then the Aggies got flustered and started beating themselves. I would be very surprised if they don't come to play tonight.

    St johns hardly fouls tweaker... They play zonecmost of the time and that trims down fouls

    From another perspective, people saw SJU hang with Arizona for most of the night last night, and might think they're getting a steal on the "home" team against an Aggie team that looked awful last night. Given the results last night for SJU and TAMU, I would think that the young SJU players would probably be pretty proud of themselves for playing well against Arizona, whereas you know the Aggies players are going to be playing mad after last night. I like Texas A&M to win comfortably.

    St. John's lucky to be only 6 down early.
    Can't dunk, can't shoot 3s and losing out badly in terms of rebounds.

    no they are not 1-7 on field goals and 0-3 on 3 pointers isnt a good start. luckily a&m is going to be in foul trouble early. only down 6 points after a horrific start means it can only get better. the johnnies have to stop the perimeter shooting and rebounds.

    Game is over if they don't handle the ball better.
    They can't rebound, can't shoot and turn the ball over.

    Th potential is there, but they are just too young to be consitent this year. They should be great fade material on the road.
