College Hoops Picks ATS, Feb. 11: St. John's Red Storm @ Cincinnati Bearcats

St. John's Red Storm (3-8, 12-11) at Cincinnati Bearcats (6-5, 16-8)

Wednesday, Feb. 11โ€”7:30 PM EST


Preview

St. John's (3-8, 12-11) sits in a disappointing 12th in the Big East. After starting the season off 9-1, the Red Storm have gone 3-10, and their upcoming schedule (Cincinnati, Marquette, Duke) doesn't provide a lot of reason to hope.

The Bearcats (6-5, 16-8) have been very successful recently. After starting conference play 0-3, they have gone 6-2 and upset some big name Big East schools, including Georgetown twice and Notre Dame once.

Another one of those wins came on the road a Madison Square Garden, when Cincinnati upset St. John's 71-60.

Since that game, St. John's has won two of their Big East three (although they were wins over Rutgers and South Floridaโ€”two teams beneath them in the standings), and Cincinnati has upset Georgetown twice and Notre Dame once, and lost to a very hot Villanova team.

Cincinnati is in the midst of proving that they are a team worthy of dancing, and a sweep of St. John's can only help. After St. John's, the Bearcats travel to Pittsburgh before hosting Louisville and Syracuse.
