Rick Pitino Unleashes Secret Weapon: Can St. John's Shock Alabama This Saturday?

It’s rare for the No. 5 St. John’s Red Storm (1-0) to sell out Madison Square Garden in November or December. But that’s the case when the Johnnies host No. 15 Alabama Crimson Tide (1-0) Saturday at The Garden for a noon ET tip-off. At DraftKings, St. John’s is a -6.5 favorite and the total is 168.5 as of Friday morning. 

In just two seasons, Rick Pitino has turned the Red Storm into one of the hottest tickets in New York City. Their No. 5 preseason ranking in the AP Poll is their highest ever. The Johnnies dummied Quinnipiac 108-74 as -26.5 favorites in their season opener. Alabama handled North Dakota 91-62 Monday, but ‘Bama couldn’t cover as a -35.5 favorite.
