7* Big East Tourney *HEAVY HITTER* on St. John's +5
The Key: Villanova is being overvalued here on a floor that St. John's is very familiar with. The Johnnies have played 9 games at MSG this season by my count. The Wildcats have beaten the best in the Big East but all of those wins came at home. They are just 2-6 in their last 8 away from home. Plus, St. John's proved it can hang with Villanova by taking the Cats to OT on the road during the regular season. Villanova has been notorious for playing up or down to the level of its competition. In fact, it is 0-8 ATS the last 3 seasons versus average teams like St. John's that carry a winning percentage of 51% to 60%. It has lost these contests by an average score of 67.7 to 65.3. Take the points.
