Rick Pitino’s group went 2-0 last year against Hurley’s squad and has played them tough in their five meetings. This UConn team is a bit different from last year’s, though, with the Huskies rated No. 3 and St. John’s sitting at No. 22. The Red Storm has won six straight after a really troubling start to the season, losing three of their first six games.Jazz vs. Hawks prediction: NBA best bet, odds, props ThursdayThe scoring projection via FTN’s college basketball betting model comes in at 70 to 69.59 for the Hskies, so there’s surely some value on St. John’s here.We expect this game to be a very slow smash-mouth style game where both teams get into the paint andKenPom’s rankings hold both of these defenses in high regard. UConn checks in as the No. 5 defense in the country, while St. John’s currently grades out as the 18th-best. FTN points out that St. John’s ranks No. 10 in offensive rebounding, while UConn comes in at No. 92 in defensive rebounding.The total for this game comes in at 144.5, and given the projected score of 70 to 69.59, we see some significant value on the total at a five-point edge. You can bet on St. John’s +2.5 at a two-point edge or the game total under at a five-point edge, but I prefer to parlay the two given there’s some correlation there . Target a same-game parlay on Under 144.5 and St. John’s +2.5 and watch them crash the glass for a big win at home.Erich Richter is a brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt but he has a black belt in MMA betting.
