St Johns and Xavier are currently sitting tied in the Big East, Xavier looking likely to get an at large bid in March and St Johns much less likely. St Johns has now dropped two in a row to Creighton and DePaul and it seems like the season is in trouble. They will pick up the intensity come the conference tournament but this is an easy let down spot to drop a third in a row. Xavier will also have something to prove after losing to St Johns at home last week. St Johns has been alright at home but not worth the advantage they’re being given tonight.
