The current betting odds have St John's listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. St John's has looked great in their games this season with their 24-6 record overall and their 17-2 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big East. They have been a great road team too with their 8-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, Seton Hall has looked good in their games this season with their 20-10 record overall and their 10-9 conference record which has them in the top half of the Big East. They have looked good on their home court too with their 12-4 home record this season. Seton Hall is off a win over Xavier in their last one and they are 3-2 in their last 5 games. They have been a solid team in the Big East this season, but the Big East has definitely been weaker this season and Seton Hall still doesn't have the talent to compete with the best. Not only did they lose to St John's earlier this year, but they also lost both of their games against UConn and they have had trouble with the top of the conference all season. St John's is off a tighter win in their last one, beating Georgetown by 3 points, but they have been rolling over opponents all season. St John's has a lot of wins by double digits in the Big East and they are 4-1 in their last 5 games too, rolling with only 1 loss to UConn in their last 15 games. This is also the regular season finale for both teams so St John's will be looking to finish the season strong here, especially since they still have a chance at a share in the regular season Big East Title. The best way to place a bet here is on St John's to cover the spread in this game.

“This place was dead. Zuby played behind Joel for one year, and he, like (Jamal) Mashburn helped turn around Kentucky, Zuby helped the turnaround here at St. John's, culture-wise, as well as on the court play.” - Rick Pitino after his team’s win against Georgetown in their last game.
