What to Know

The Butler Bulldogs and the St. John's Red Storm are set to square off in a Big East matchup at 6:30 p.m. ET Jan. 10 at Carnesecca Arena. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

2023 "welcomed" Butler with a 76-51 beatdown courtesy of the Seton Hall Pirates this past Saturday. The top scorer for the Bulldogs was guard Jayden Taylor (14 points).

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for St. John's as they fell 83-80 to the Providence Friars this past Saturday. The loss was just more heartbreak for St. John's, who fell 86-82 when the teams previously met last February. A silver lining for them was the play of center Joel Soriano, who posted a double-double on 16 points and ten boards. That makes it three consecutive games in which Soriano has had at least ten rebounds.

Butler is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 0-5 ATS when expected to lose.

Butler took a serious blow against the Red Storm when the two teams previously met in February of last year, falling 91-57. Can the Bulldogs avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
