A Big East battle is set for Friday night when the Villanova Wildcats (9-10, 3-5 in Big East) visit the St. John’s Red Storm. Villanova is not going to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, and a win here could hurt St. John’s chances as well. Below is my college basketball betting pick for Villanova vs St. John’s.

Villanova Wildcats
Last time out, Villanova hosted the Georgetown Hoyas and escaped with a 77-73 victory. The Hoyas were close to ending their 27-game conference losing streak, but bad teams find a way to lose and that’s exactly what they did. Georgetown led with under three minutes to go, but they were only able to score four more points the rest of the game. Villanova led by as many as 11 points, never trailed by more than six, and could not cover the -13.5-point spread.
Eric Dixon had 12 points, four rebounds, one steal, and one block on the day. Caleb Daniels added 16 points, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in the win.
Through 19 games, Villanova is scoring 71.4 points per game, shooting 44.1% from the field, and assisting on 11.4 made shots. The Wildcats are allowing 69.4 points, grabbing 31.6 rebounds, blocking 1.4 shots, and stealing the ball 5.6 times.
St. John’s Red Storm
St. John’s visited the #6 UConn Huskies and used a dominant second half to win 85-74. The Huskies were in control early, but the Red Storm battled back to tie the game up at the half. St. John’s carried that momentum into the second half and dominated the final 20 minutes. The Red Storm led by as many as 16 points, never trailed by more than eight, and won outright as +14.5-point road underdogs.
Joel Soriano had 19 points, 13 rebounds, and one assist on the day. Posh Alexander added 14 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two steals in the victory.
After 19 games, St. John’s is scoring 79.3 points per game, shooting 46.7% from the field, and assisting on 15.4 made shots. The Red Storm are allowing 72.4 points, grabbing 39.8 rebounds, blocking 3.7 shots, and stealing the ball 9.2 times.
