St. John’s Red Storm
After a strong start to the season that featured an 11-1 start, St. John’s finds itself in a slump in Big East play thus far. The Red Storm have dropped their last five conference matchups and seek their second conference win in this matchup.
Indeed, St. John’s turned in a good performance but fell short on the road against Providence in its last matchup, 83-80.
Soriano
Joel Soriano has been a double double machine for the Red Storm, pacing the team with 16.2 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. Also, David Jones is second on the team with 13.9 points while also contributing 7.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.
Andre Curbelo has also been a reliable guard this year on both ends of the floor, averaging 10.5 points per game while making 45.5% of his field goals.
Additionally, he is also contributing 3.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.
St. John’s currently boasts the fastest tempo in college basketball, per Bart Torvik. The Red Storm have been slightly more efficient on the offensive side of the ball this year, averaging 79 points per game.
Basically, the Red Storm are 267th in the country in both 3-point percentage and free throw percentage, but make up for it with their ability to crash the offensive glass.
Butler Bulldogs
Butler has had its fair share of ups and downs on the year as it seeks its third conference win. Butler is 2-4 in conference play after an awful loss at the hands of Seton Hall.
The Bulldogs shot under 30 percent from the field in the loss and allowed Seton Hall to shoot over 50 percent.
Offense
Sophomore Jayden Taylor is the leading scorer, averaging 13.6 points per game while shooting 37 percent from the field.
Manny Bates is the rebound leader, averaging six rebounds per game while also contributing 13.2 points and 2.1 blocks per game.

Free St. John’s Red Storm vs. Butler Bulldogs NCAAB Prediction:
To me, five points is too many for St. John’s to be getting, even at home. This feels like a good buy-low spot for Butler.
Secondly I think Butler can right the ship offensively against a St. John’s team that has been struggling to defend in recent games.
Butler D
One area that stands out as well is Butler’s defense, which ranks 48th in the country in efficiency. Butler has done an outstanding job of limiting teams and not fouling while doing so.
Regardless, I think the Bulldogs keep it close in a game that should come down to the last possession.
Free St. John’s Red Storm vs. Butler Bulldogs Betting Pick: Butler +5
