St. John's vs. Wisconsin

Wisconsin will once again be amongst the elite teams in the Big-10, and the Badgers are certainly the odds-on favorite to make their 16th straight NCAA tournament appearance. St. John's should be better with all five starters returning. A year ago they were only good enough to make an NIT bid, so they have to improve a lot to get to the Badgers' level here. Wisconsin is one of the best defending teams in the country, and that is the type of team that has been difficult to solve for St. John's. St. John's has also struck out when playing on a neutral court, where they are 0-4 ATS in their last four. Lay the points and play on Wisconsin.
