Creighton vs St. John’s Prediction, Odds and College Basketball Picks: Bet Bluejays ATS +6.5 in Big East Title Tilt On March 15

The top two seeds will be squaring off in the Big East title game on Saturday, with top-seeded St. John’s eyeing its first Big East tournament title since 2000. Meanwhile, No. 2 seed Creighton is 0-4 in Big East tournament finals. St. John’s is favored by 6.5 points against Creighton, the Red Storm’s second straight game as the favorite against the Bluejays.

St. John’s (+2200) has the seventh shortest odds of winning March Madness. Creighton is tied for 24th at +10000 in the championship odds.

Creighton and St. John’s split their regular-season series, with the Red Storm winning at Madison Square Garden. This will be the first meeting in the Big East tournament between the Bluejays and the Red Storm. The winner should improve their NCAA basketball championship odds.

Creighton needed two overtimes in the quarterfinals to get past DePaul, while no St. John’s player had to play more than 31 minutes in the Red Storm’s tournament opener. Both teams cruised in their semifinal wins. Will that play a role in Saturday’s title game?
