What to Know
The St. John's Red Storm are 4-12 against the Seton Hall Pirates since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday. St. John's and Seton Hall will face off in a Big East battle at 8:30 p.m. ET at Carnesecca Arena. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.
The Red Storm skirted by the Georgetown Hoyas 75-73 on Sunday thanks to a clutch half-court bomb from guard AJ Storr with 0:04 remaining. St. John's got double-digit scores from four players: forward David Jones (17), guard Dylan Addae-Wusu (15), center Joel Soriano (12), and Storr (12).
Meanwhile, Seton Hall made easy work of the Butler Bulldogs this past Saturday and carried off a 70-49 win. Guard Dre Davis (15 points) was the top scorer for Seton Hall.
Barring any buzzer beaters, St. John's is expected to win a tight contest. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past three games.
The wins brought the Red Storm up to 14-8 and the Pirates to 13-9. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: St. John's enters the matchup with 8.7 steals per game on average, good for 33rd best in college basketball. Less enviably, Seton Hall has allowed their opponents an average of 7.7 steals per game, the 25th most in college basketball. In other words, they will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
