BIG EAST 10* TOTAL OF YEAR! (8 STRAIGHT?)
(NCAAB) St. John's vs. Connecticut, 01/12/2022 8:30 PM, Score: 78 - 86
Total: 150.00 | -108.00 Under
Result: Loss
I'm playing on St. John's/UConn UNDER the total. When these teams faced each other last season, the O/U line was 140.5. With the Red Storm making 46.7% of their 3-point shots, the teams combined for 144 points. This evening, we're working with a considerably higher O/U number. I believe it'll prove to be too high. Even with last year's game finishing above the number, the Red Storm have seen the UNDER go 13-8 on the road, the past couple of seasons. Going back further finds the UNDER at 15-8 when they were road underdogs in the 9.5 to 12 range. While the Huskies can score, they're also very stingy. They're allowing just 54.9 ppg here, visiting teams connecting on only 36.8% of their field goals. The Huskies will be determined not to let the Red Storm shoot as well as they did here last season. The Red Storm, for their part, know that they gave the Huskies real trouble last season and they'll be looking for a similar defensive effort. Look for the UNDER to improve to 5-2 the past seven times that UConn scored 80 or more points, in its previous game.
