St. John’s vs. UConn CBB Prediction:
St. John’s is looking to win three in a row, while the Huskies look to get back into the win column on Saturday night.
Take the Red Storm. The Clingan injury for UConn is a big loss on both ends of the floor for the Huskies, even if he does play, I couldn’t imagine he is a 100%. Joel Soriano should be able to have a big game for the Red Storm in his absence. Rick Pitino has the Red Storm playing better as of late and I think he have his guys fully ready to go as they take on Huskies. This game will be closer than expected. St. John’s is the play.
St. John’s vs. UConn College Hoops Prediction: St. John’s +11.5
