St. John’s Red Storm vs. Creighton Bluejays Prediction
I’m on Creighton here. The CHI Health Center Omaha is a tough place to go on the road and win, and Creighton is still a solid team. I think St. John’s get the notoriety with Rick Pitino and the notion that the Red Storm are back, but I still think that Creighton is live to win this game. Give me the Bluejays in this one.
