Both Marquette and St. John's are known for their fast-paced offenses but their defensive prowess, especially in conference play, makes the Under a strong bet for their Tuesday night matchup.
The No. 11-ranked Marquette Golden Eagles face off against the No. 12-ranked St. John's Red Storm in college basketball action on Tuesday night.
The Red Storm are coming off a 68-66 win against Providence and have allowed just 61.5 points per game across 11 conference games. During conference play, the Johnnies lead the Big East in adjusted defensive efficiency and opponent effective field goal percentage while ranking second in opponent turnover rate . are fresh off a 77-69 loss to UConn and have limited foes to 67.6 ppg over their last five contests.
With the Johnnies boasting a significant advantage on the boards, along with the better defense and home-court advantage, I'm leaning towards them on a short 3-point spread. Keep in mind that the Golden Eagles are 5-10 against the spread in their last 15 games, while St. John's is 13-8-1 ATS this season.
