4* NCAAB Blowout on St. Louis -10.5
After a big win at Xavier last Wednesday, St. Louis endured a letdown Saturday at UMass and was handed a 72-59 defeat. Motivated by that loss, and back home where they have been nearly unstoppable, expect the Billikens to take care of business tonight.

St. Louis is 10-1 at home this season (6-1 ATS in home lined games) where it is winning by an average of 20.6 points. And, the Billikens will draw further motivation from St. Bonaventure being ahead of them in the standings and the Bonnies winning the most recent meeting last February.

The fact St. Bonaventure has a losing road record is significant because the Billikens are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. St. Louis is the more talented team, and I won't hesitate to lay the points in this extremely motivated spot.
