The Musketeers come into this game with a record of 12-7. That record has the Musketeers placed in sixth in the Big East, and they've won three straight games to get there.

St. John's supports a record of 16-3. Rick Pitino's team begins the game ranked 20th in the nation. The Red Storm have not reached the big dance since 2019, and are on the fast track to changing that.

The line tonight screams St. John's.
Xavier is coming to a big-time road win over Marquette, but they are in a letdown spot tonight.
The Red Storm will control the pace of this game, and have too much offensive firepower for Xavier to match.
