7:00 p.m. ET: Kansas Jayhawks (5-1) at St. John’s Red Storm (5-1)

Spread: Kansas -6.5
Total: 157

The #8 Kansas Jayhawks visit St. John’s in a non-conference matchup. Both teams had victories this past weekend. St. John’s had a 77-68 overtime win at home over NJIT on Saturday, while Kansas won 96-83 over Iona on Sunday. Kansas is #7 in the country in points scored per possession and committing a turnover on just 14% of their possessions, which is ranked 19th in the country. St. John’s is forcing a turnover on 24 percent of opponents’ possessions, which ranks 24th and has forced at least 20 turnovers in 3 straight games, but those games were against Fairleigh Dickinson, St. Francis NY, and against NJIT. Kansas’ seniors Ochai Agbaji, Remy Martin, David McCormack, and Mitch Lightfoot have combined to account for 57% of the team’s scoring this season and 67% of all Jayhawks points over the team’s last 5 games. St. John’s should struggle with turnovers and the Jayhawks’ size on the defensive. With the loss to Dayton still fresh on their mind, you can expect this team to show up to play. Take the Jayhawks to get the win and the cover in this one.
