Prediction

I expect this to be a close, low-scoring and physical game. St. John’s has played to the UNDER in nine of their last 10 games overall and are 6-1 in games decided by five points or less. Duke may be the top-ranked team in the country, but the Red Storm only lost six games this season and only once since Jan. 3. Pitino’s team is physical and relentless and can make this game interesting. The Red Storm also have the depth and experience that is needed in late March.

Pick: St John’s +6.5
