Marquette at St. John's

The St. John's Red Storm are off perhaps the best week any unranked team has ever had. They started it by shocking then #4 Duke, and then went on the roa to take on #1 Villanova and shocked the Wildcats as well. This is all from a team that opened 0-11 in the Big East. They are obviously brimming with confidence now, and a team that lost a lot of close games has to be feeling pretty good about things now. Marquette at 14-10 has little hope to be dancing in March. The Warriors are just 3-6 over their last nine games, and have a current stretch showing a paltry 1-4. They have defended poorly, allowing 6 of their last 12 opponents to shoot 50% or better - not good enough on the road. Play on St. John's.
