Hatfield's Prediction: Expect a high-scoring Big East basketball affair on Saturday.
Big East foes will help welcome our Saturday of college basketball when St John's Red Storm face the Providence Friars. This will be a very familiar opponent for a few people in particular, it's where Johnnies head coach Rick Pitino coached for two years in the 80s but for big man Bryce Hopkins that history is much more recent.
Hopkins played for Providence for three years before transferring to the New York school this summer. These added elements should make this game particularly interesting. Styles make fights and, in this clash, it should make points. The Over is my best bet in this spot, and it's a number I projected just over 170. One of the questions you always have to ask yourself when you get a total approaching the 170s in college basketball is will there even be enough possessions to get to that number. That shouldn't be a concern here, as both teams have played at a Top 50 pace this year and are more than comfortable hitting the mid-70s per possession.is a transition team , and they're also elite on the glass. When they get rebounds, they score at an absurd clip of 1.4 points per possession in such situations.defense that's been vulnerable in those same scramble situations . It's also worth mentioning that the Friars have been below average on the defensive glass. Another way to state this?On the other side, Providence's best offense also relies on pace and pressure. Transition is a significant part of their offense, and one of the Johnnies' biggest issues this season has been their poor defense during transition.second-chance game for St. John's, the total can get dragged upward even if one team has an off shooting night.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
