I really like this play I think St. John's stays hot against Marquette which couldn't have been a better match up for them in the 2nd round. Marquette never seems to really blow teams out down the stretch and their strength of three point shooting has been limited as of late.
This is like a home game for St. Johns as they typically play 7 to 8 games at MSG a year. They looked awfully good against Uconn yesterday on both sides of the ball playing defense and forcing turnovers and scoring in transition. St. John's is much more athletic in my opinion and could win this game out right just as they shown in the first match up between these two teams which was an OT loss by St. Johns 63-61. In that game they held Marquette to 27.8% shooting from beyond the perimeter. If they can do that again they will win this game out right. I think Marquette shows why the coaches picked them to be the 12th place team before the season started.
