St. John's went 10-2 in non-conference play, but has yet to notch a Big East win in eight tries. Six of those losses were by single digits, including a 78-71 defeat at Creigton. The Bluejays have lost two of three after a five-game win streak, and they're only 1-3 on the road in the Big East. But Creigton is still the better team, and two points feels small. My projections agree, calling for a nine-point win and covering in 65 percent of simulations.
