St. John's vs Long Island Key Stats
In their drubbing against the Huskies, the Long Island Sharks were led by Jacob Johnson, who scored 11 points and raked in seven rebounds. While R.J. Greene scored 14 points and dished out three assists, the rest of the roster was simply awful on both ends of the court. The Sharks are 1-4 in their five previous games and have only managed to cover the spread in one of them.
They average 67.2 points per game on just 39.4% shooting and are averaging 35.1% from beyond the arc. They are giving up 77.6 points on 42.2% shooting and 73% from the free throw line. They have one of the worst defenses in the country and are reeling under poor management. Marko Maletic is averaging 15.8 points per game, while Johnson is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game.
The Red Storm are on a seven-game winning streak and have managed to cover the spread in four of those games as the favorites. In their last game against the Purple Eagles, Joel Soriano absolutely scorched the surface with 21 points and a whopping 19 rebounds. The rest of the offense also stepped up, and four other players ended up scoring in double digits.
The St. John's Red Storm are scoring a hefty 81.9 points on average on 46.8% shooting, and they are giving up just 67.9 points on 40.4% shooting. They are raking in 39.4 offensive rebounds per game. David Jones is averaging 16.1 points per game, while Joel Soriano is averaging 12.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and thus far has been the standout player for the Red Storm.
St. John's vs Long Island Betting Prediction
The Sharks have hit the under in four of their five previous games and have hit the under in four straight games when they were on the road against a team with a good home winning record. The Red Storm hit the over in five games prior to this one when they played against a weak opponent. I have a feeling that the Red Storm will blow apart the Sharks in this one and cover the spread at home.
Pick: Red Storm -28.5 (-110)
