*CBB(1u): St John’s -10 vs Georgetown–1 PM CT

Say what you want about the Johnnies’ ability to step up in competition, but they have blitzed the bottom barrel teams in the Big East. They beat Butler by 16 and DePaul by 19, and I’m expecting a similar result today.

Georgetown got off the schneid earlier this week with their first Big East win in nearly 2 years. Quite frankly, I couldn’t give a damn. In their 5 road games in Big East play, Georgetown is allowing almost 87 PPG and features maybe the worst defense Power CBB has to offer. St John’s is not a great outside shooting team, but I do like their guard play around the rim and think the world of big-man Joel Soriano. I’m expecting St John’s to improve in the shooting department here down the final stretch, and I couldn’t think of a better opponent to start that against.

One of the little-known facts in CBB is that St John’s has a legit Top 50 defense in the country. They force over 15 turnovers per game and should suffocate a poorly coached Hoyas team in this matchup. Patrick Ewing’s team is notorious for poor 2H’s, so I have no issue playing this over the full game.
