Georgetown vs. No. 18 St. John’s predictions: Odds, recent stats, trends and best bets for March 3

With an eye on a regular season Big East championship, the St. John’s Red Storm (23-6, 16-2) take the court at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night against the cellar-dwellers in the Big East, the Georgetown Hoyas (10-19, 5-13).

After getting smacked by UConn last Wednesday, St. John’s righted things with a 32-point victory over Villanova, 89-57, this past weekend. With their win over the Wildcats, St. John’s is locked in as a Top 2 seed in the Big East Tourney along with the aforementioned UConn Huskies. The Johnnies were led by Zuby Ejiofor, who recorded his 1st career triple-double.

One of the more disappointing programs in the nation resides in our nation’s capital. Despite a hot start to the season, the Georgetown Hoyas have reverted to form winning just three games since the beginning of January and as a result have sunk to a familiar place, the Big East’s basement. Unless they win the Big East Tournament, the Hoyas seem poised to miss their fifth straight NCAA Tournament and third in Head Coach Ed Cooley’s tenure.

St. John’s has a record of 3-5 in Q1 games and is 9-1 in Q2. Georgetown is 1-7 in Q1 and 3-6 in Quad 2 games. The Johnnies are ranked No. 21 in KenPom and No. 22 in the NET. Georgetown is ranked No. 90 in KenPom and 99^th in the NET.
