St. John
Marquette vs. St. John's CBB Prediction

The Marquette Golden Eagles will look to keep pace in the Big East race when they play the St. John's Red Storm in Queens tonight.

After a tough loss in double overtime against Providence, Marquette has won two straight games. They are only 2-2 on the road, but their two losses were the aforementioned Providence game, and against Purdue, one of the nation's top teams. Both losses were by five points.

St. John's has lost three consecutive games, all in conference play. In that stretch is a loss to Xavier at home, the first and only home loss for the Red Storm this season. They'll be desperate to take this game and get their season back on track.

This game is important for both teams. Neither school has played yet in 2023, so let's see which one will begin their new year the right way.
