St. John’s vs. Villanova: College Basketball Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions (Wednesday)
Recent history suggests the Wildcats have owned the Red Storm, as they are 6-1 against them in Mike Anderson’s tenure. However, former Big East Player of the Year Collin Gillespie and backcourt partner Justin Moore were available for all those games to handle most of the point guard duties against Mike Anderson’s intense pressure. With Moore still injured and Gillespie graduated, the Wildcats will trot out freshmen Mark Armstrong, Brendan Hausen, and Cam Whitmore against the Red Storm press. Senior Caleb Daniels is better off the ball than he is as a lead guard, and Chris Arcidiacono is still coming into his own in an expanded role.
St. John’s last two losses to Villanova were by a combined seven points, but without Moore and Gillespie, the Wildcats will be shell-shocked early in this one. When this line becomes available, we will grab it at anything +2.5 or higher.
Bet: St. John’s First Half Spread (OFF at DraftKings)
