The Providence front will be their strength, as they have shown, with good perimeter hands and fast hands on D. And we will see if the Red Storm can handle the guards from Providence when they have to. The key to St. John's is jumping out with an early lead. The Redmen do not want to get beat early on by Providence in the beginning of game. St. John's has had their problems with funky starts in the past 6-7 games. Shamorie Ponds has been struggling with his shot over his last 5 games, the Red Storm would be better off with a real leader who could help get this St. John's offense rolling. 6 is too many in this one and I'm back the UNDERDOG with ST Johns on Saturday afternoon.
