St John's finishes on top of the Big East regular season 28-4 and they've gone 8-2 on the road. The curious thing with the spread is that Marquette was -4.5 at home against St John's last week and the game went into overtime with St John's winning 86-84. They return this week on neutral court, or supposedly because it's at Madison Square Garden, St John's is -3.5. At the first meeting at St John's, they were only -2.5 and beat Marquette 70-64. They beat Marquette twice this season covered 20 of their games and held offenses to 40% shooting. St John's is just better.
