My Prediction
St. John's Red Storm by 8Good lord, it's about time. Let's dig into this match up.
We've got St. John's Red Storm sitting pretty at number 10 in the AP Poll, squaring off against the Butler Bulldogs, who didn't make the top 100. Just based on that, you'd need a minor miracle to take on the Red Storm.
St. John's is backed by Kadary Richmond and RJ Luis, each pulling more than 16 points per game in the last month and hovering at 17.3 and 16.6 respectively. They are complemented by Zuby Ejiofor, who managed to average 12.6 points which is no small feat.
Moving to Butler, they've got their hopes riding on Pierre Brooks who averaged 19.0 points last month, outperforming his season average, and Jahmyl Telfort with a solid 17.0 points. The rest of the squad doesn't quite match up though.
Looking at past encounters between these two, it's been "St. John's Rules, Butler Drools," every single time. To top it off, St. John's outshines with a regular season record of 24-4, significantly better than Butler's 13-14.
Recent results also echo a similar story for both of these teams. St. John's has been breezing past teams like they've got capes on. On the flip side, Butler isn't doing too bad itself, but there definitely seems to be a struggle there.
At the end of the day, someone's gotta wear the crown. Even without a genius IQ, this one's a cinch to predict.
