The folks in Las Vegas are predicting a close one on Saturday afternoon in Atlanta.
According to our friends at BetMGM, No. 22 St. John’s (7-3) has opened up as a 2.5-point favorite to beat Kentucky (7-4) in the CBS Sports Classic. The total has been set at 155.5, which averages out to a projected score of approximately 79-77 in favor of the Red Storm. Of note, Kentucky sophomore center Jayden Quaintance is expected to make his season debut in this one.
That spread is about in line with what the computer numbers are calling for, too.
