The under is 15-9 in games involving Creighton this season.<\/p>\n<p>St. Johns is 15-11 on the season, and 13-13 against the spread. The Red Storm average 79.2 points per game while giving up 73.2 points per game. St. Johns is 11-6 at home, but 6-11 against the spread in those home games. The over is 15-9 in games involving St. Johns this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Red Storm Alert<\/h3>\n<p>They\u2019ve issued a Red Storm alert in the Big East, and for good reason. It might not be too late for Mike Anderson\u2019s team to sneak onto the Big Dance bubble by Selection Sunday, especially after a couple of thumping wins in a row over Xavier and Butler. There are chances for resume-enhancing wins before the Big East Tourney, beginning with this one tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The pistons have all been firing in recent games for the Red Storm, and no one in the Big East is any hotter at the moment than Anderson\u2019s 6-8 wing Julian Champagnie, who has destroyed Xavier and Butler across the last pair of wins to the tune of 29 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s getting some help, as Purdue transfer F Aaron Wheeler finally began to feel comfy in his new surroundings recently and not long ago put up 31 in a close loss to ranked Villanova, while G Posh Alexander scored 29 in a recent dogfight vs. Providence.<\/p>\n<h3>A Missing Piece<\/h3>\n<p>The Blue Jays won the first meeting by 23 in Omaha back on Jan. 19 when G Alex O\u2019Connell scored a career-high 28 points in what was arguably the worst effort of the season for St. John&#8217;s. Creighton&#8217;s Arthur Kaluma scored 20 points in the first meeting between these teams, but he&#8217;s out tonight and O&#8217;Connell has also been in-and-out of the Blue Jays&#8217; lineup.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Wednesday on WagerTalk TV:<br \/>\n\u26f3\ufe0f10am ET &#8211; Tee Time from Vegas<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfd211am ET &#8211; Puck Time<br \/>\n\u2615\ufe0f12pm ET &#8211; WagerTalk Today<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfc01:45pm ET &#8211; NCAAB Tip-Off<br \/>\n\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f6pm ET &#8211; The Hustle Pod<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcfaYouTube &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FjtLjz8xHL\">https:\/\/t.co\/FjtLjz8xHL<\/a><br \/>\n\ud83d\udcfaTwitch &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Cc8pWqKht0\">https:\/\/t.co\/Cc8pWqKht0<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HtL2FZEZdu\">pic.twitter.com\/HtL2FZEZdu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WagerTalk (@WagerTalk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WagerTalk\/status\/1496485003647066116?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 23, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">College Basketball Stat Sheet<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Each day, WagerTalk handicapper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/profile\/ralph-michaels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ralph Michaels<\/a> puts together his College Basketball Stat Sheet, which offers a head-to-head comparison for how teams are performing in a number of key areas heading into a game.
