\"The
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 0-2 ATS as home favorites of 6.5 to 9 points this season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

St. John\u2019s has dropped four of its last five games, including a 62-59 setback to the Providence Friars as 6.5-point road underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the total for the second consecutive contest.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve been awful from the 3-point line, so that\u2019s not new,\u201d commented Red Storm coach Steve Lavin.\u00a0 The Red Storm are hitting just 28.9 percent of their shots from beyond the arc, which is the worst mark in the Big East Conference.\u00a0 St. John\u2019s is 9-7 ATS versus conference foes this year, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your college basketball picks against the spread Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The Red Storm have won and covered the spread in their last three meetings with the Fighting Irish, including a 67-63 victory as seven-point home underdogs on Jan. 15, while the UNDER has cashed in each of those opportunities.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to note that the program has lost six of its last seven trips to South Bend in the series.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame had its two-game winning streak snapped last time out, as it suffered a 72-64 defeat to the Marquette Golden Eagles as six-point road underdogs Saturday, while going OVER the total for the first time in four contests.\u00a0 The Fighting Irish received very little from Jack Cooley in that affair, as he was limited to 15 minutes of floor time due to the flu.\u00a0 The program is 11-11 against St. John\u2019s in Big East play, including a 7-8 mark under coach Mike Brey.\u00a0 Notre Dame is 0-2 ATS as home favorites of 6.5 to 9 points this season, which is important to consider when looking over the college basketball odds page.<\/p>\n

The Fighting Irish have won their final regular-season home game in each of the last seven seasons.\u00a0 Notre Dame has a plus-42 rebound advantage in its last three games, while it has tallied a 16-1 record when wining the battle on the glass during the 2012-13 NCAA basketball season.\u00a0 Over the last seven seasons, the squad is 25-8 in its final five games of the conference regular-season schedule.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Red Storm due to their 8-2 ATS mark in the last 10 meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
