The first Sweet 16 game scheduled for Friday will see the #5-seeded St. John’s Red Storm (30-6) take on the #1-seeded Duke Blue Devils (34-2) in the East Region. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Red Storm and the Blue Devils.
St. John’s needed a layup as time expired to beat the Kansas Jayhawks in the Round of 32. Despite that, the Red Storm are easily the hottest team in the tournament right now, having gone 7-0 in March and winning 21 of their last 22 games. Also in March, St. John’s is 5-2 ATS, which includes 1-1 ATS in the tournament so far.
Duke emphatically bounced back from their scare in the first round against Sienna to comfortably beat the TCU Horned Frogs in the Round of 32 this past weekend. With the win, the Blue Devils are a perfect 7-0 in March. That being said, Duke has been inconsistent against the spread recently, covering in four of their seven games in March.
