I don't think Vegas saw us covering against St. Johns and pretty sure we did. I'd still take the points since those big leads tend to dissipate in the late minutes
Rutgers was 27.5 point underdog at Michigan State over the weekend and didn't cover. I think it is worse if you are that big of a home underdog and don't cover.
Not talking about the betting angle guys. Addressing the embarrassing situation SJU finds itself in. An incredibly terrible point spread and still the public favors the opposition.
If Xavier opens up a 20+ lead I would have to the their bench would be emptied. At this point in the season you want to save your players for the next game as well as the next few days practice.
Have to take into consideration that their best freshman is ineligible. Their 2nd best freshman is injured & not playing. Plus they lost their 6 best players from last year.
I guess it's worse that most people think St. John's relentless, garbage time press against Xavier's deep reserves won't be enough to bring them within 24.
