Kansas vs St John's Predictions & Picks

St John's are backed to cover the spread as they advance in March Madness.

The Red Storm do not shoot the basketball well, but they are a tough, physical team that plays good defense - just like the Houston team that ran over the Kansas in the Big 12 tournament.

  • St John's are on a 7-game win streak
  • St John's are 11-4-0 ATS in their last 15 games
  • Kansas are 2-4-0 ATS in their last 6 games
  • The Under has cashed in 10 of St John's last 11 games

Head To Head

  • Kansas lead the all-time series 9-5
  • Kansas won 95-75 when the two teams last met in December 2021

Verdict

Kansas could not handle Houston's physicality in the Big 12 tournament, and now they have to face a similar opponent in St John's.

The Red Storm do not shoot the basketball as well as Houston, but they have enough about them offensively to deliver the win and cover.
