<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>College Basketball Betting -- Holy war: St. John's looks to even the score with Xavier</strong></span>

Things did not necessarily look too good for the St. John's Red Storm earlier in the season, but to their credit, they are making a run at an NCAA at-large berth. They've still got some work to do, and they cannot afford to slip up against the Xavier Musketeers, who come into the Carnesecca Arena in Jamaica, NY with some tournament aspirations of their own.

The game begins at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time, and will be televised on Fox Sports 1. If you are signed up with <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, you will have an opportunity to watch this game and place wagers on it while it is in progress, using the facilities of Sports Betting Prime.

St John's comes into this game sporting a 13 - 8 record, and averaging 79.4 points per game. They have, by and large, been playing their best basketball of the season.

The kids from Queens compiled a six-game winning streak recently, and they knocked off some pretty good teams, including the Villanova Wildcats, who came in with a #3 national ranking. That streak was halted last Tuesday with a 76 - 73 overtime loss to Butler.

Xavier is 11 - 3 for head coach Travis Steele. They have a victory over Oklahoma, which won't hurt them with the selection committee when it comes time to determine at-large credentials. And they have some history going for themselves, as they have won TWELVE straight games over St Johns.

In the college basketball betting odds that have been posted on this game at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, St Johns is the slight favorite at home:

<strong>St. John's Red Storm -1.5</strong>
<strong>Xavier Musketeers +1.5</strong>

<strong>Over 154 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 154 points -110</strong>

If you can imagine it, Xavier committed 19 turnovers, shot just over 60% from the free-throw line and missed all twelve of their shots from three-point territory in the previous meeting between these schools, but still came out of it with a 69-61 victory. That is something St. John's would rather forget, but they have to still remember it. The "big three" players on the roster - Julian Champagnie, Greg Williams and Posh Alexander - combined to hit just 26% from the floor. Obviously they'll be determined to improve that.

But you've got to take note that this all came before the Red Storm caught fire.

One of the virtuous things about St John's, we suppose, is the fact that they don't have to depend on hitting three-point shots to survive. Champagnie is one of the most artful offensive players in the country, and will most certainly be an all-Big East selection as he leads the conference with 19.7 points per game. The real revelation is Alexander, a freshman who averages 11.6 points and also leads the Big East with 2.7 steals per game. He is obviously the key to coach Mike Anderson's pressure. St John's is among the top 25 teams in the country in defensive turnover percentage.

Xavier, which is led by Zach Freemantle's 16.1 points per game, had to go through some Covid-19 issues. in fact, they have played only twice in the last 37 days. Their last game came a few days ago against Connecticut, which beat them 80 - 72. In that game,the Musketeers shot just 40.3%, and even though Freemantle had a big effort with 30 points, the rest of the team combined for only 12 field goals.

Xavier is 5th in the nation in assists, at 18.6 per game. Obviously with all of that ball movement, there is precision and timing required. And we have seen that teams coming off long layoffs during this pandemic have taken some time before getting into sync - longer than just a single game. With St John's and its pressure, that might keep them off-balance. We are going to lean toward the Red Storm to end this 12-game losing streak to the Musketeers and bring themselves one step closer to making it to the Big Dance, likely a First Four berth.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.
