Recently. I found this on the SJU board posted by a fan who just came back from Vegas.When did these odds come out?
I could see it either way too. I'll lean towards no but I wont' be shocked if they put it all together. The backcourt is NCAA tournament worthy, the front court still has questions. Yakwe taking a step back last year really hurt, he has the tools to be a force. Ahmed was the 4 man, but drifts away from the hoop. Marvin Clark should help after sitting out a year. Those 3 guys and Tariq Owens will dictate how they fare, I think.That's quite a jump for The Johnnies. Anybody see them as an NCAA tournament team? (I could see it either way)
The thing about St John's is their talent always seems to be better than their record. At least as I see it.
They play too much street ball. Too much one on one. And they have attitude and not the good kind because I have seen them play often and so many times before, during or after a game they seem full of themselves.
There is no doubting SJU's talent this season., But I have to see if the sum of the parts equals or hopefully for them surpasses the whole before passing judgement.

Villanova - 15 to 1
Butler - 25 to 1
Xavier - 50 to 1
Seton Hall - 60 to 1
St. John's - 75 to 1
Providence - 100 to 1
Creighton - 125 to 1
Marquette - 200 to 1
Georgetown - 750 to 1
DePaul - not listed
Sam's Town doesn't have SJU listed either.
List is as of Today and subject to change with transfers, coaching changes etc. Think Butler has a solid nucleus coming back. What the new coach does with it remains to be seen.Surprised Butler is still 50-1
SH was listed as tied for 29th place in this listing (w/ Indiana among others).
.
Sports Books routinely set odds based, in part, on "name recognition" and betting habits of fans. Classic example is UNLV listed at 300-1. The Books will get a lot of "local" action on that price with little or no expectation of having to pay out on that one. Think of the expression - "there's a sucker born every day". That's how the Books make a profit.Indiana is not in the class of Seton Hall this season. Classic example of betting on name recognition.
