Before their 81-67 whooping of Providence Wednesday, the Red Storm’s NCAA tournament hopes were damaged after losing three of their previous four games (2-3 ATS in their last five games).Seton Hall has a much better tournament resume with the Big East Tournament tipping off next week but has also struggled recently. The Pirates enter on a 3-game losing streak and haven’t covered in their last five contests.St. John’s was handled by Seton Hall 77-68 as 5-point road underdogs in their first meeting of the season Dec. 11. Pirates forward Sandro Mamukelashvili erupted for 32 points on 12-of-18 shooting with 9 rebounds and 3 assists.Special College Basketball Betting Promotion!

Seton Hall at St. John’s: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
St. John’s 86, Seton Hall 79
Money line (ML)
BET ST. JOHN’S (-105), who’ve been a great home team this season. The Johnnies have a 10-3 record at home, 9-4 ATS and are outscoring teams 81.7 to 74.5 on average in those games.
Also, St. John’s kept the first meeting against Seton Hall within a couple of possessions late but were unable to sink a crucial bucket.
Furthermore, the Pirates attempted 18 more free throws and the Johnnies are a pretty good 3-point shooting team but only connected on 19% of their 3-point attempts in the first meeting.
Both of those statistics should regress back to the mean in this game, and I like ST. JOHN’S (-105) to get revenge against Seton Hall at home.

Against the spread (ATS)
PASS on the spread unless St. John’s gets to +2.5, then take the points instead of the money line. However, since the money line and spread are nearly identical, there are applicable ATS trends in this game.
St. John’s is 8-3 ATS with a plus-4.3-point spread differential as home underdogs since head coach Mike Anderson took over the program last season. Plus, the Johnnies have the 4th-best cover rate in the Big East when playing conference foes since the beginning of 2019.
Over/Under (O/U)
The recent total trends of these two teams point to the Under yet BetMGM opened this Seton Hall-St. John’s total 5.5 points higher than the previous game despite the Under cashing in two straight and four of the last five meetings.
This intel has me lean towards the OVER 153.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit because it feels like the House is trying to goad bettors into taking the Under.
