Looie, Zuby & Rick, that's a pretty SWEET trio!

Las Vegas - Warning ... This pick comes half from the heart and half from the head. Continue reading and betting at your own risk. Gonna drop some cash on St. John's over Kansas. You all know that I was born & raised in NYC and that the Red Storm is my heart. The love goes way back to Lou Carnesecca's teams that featured Chris Mullin, Mark Jackson, Ron Artest and Bill Wennington. They never won a championship but they did win a ton of games. Now another talented coach, Rick Pitino, leads the Storm and they have also won a ton of games (79 in three seasons). And they have won a ton since the start of January, posting a ridonkulous 20-1 record, working on a 7-0 run. They're not only winning, they're WINNING! St. John's closed the season with a 20 point win over UConn (72-52) and opened the tournament with a 26 point W against Northern Iowa (79-53). Kansas has been an average team since the middle of February, winning five and losing five. The Jayhawks superstar, Darryn Peterson, will be a top three pick in the upcoming NBA draft, but injuries have slowed his flow. The last piece to this puzzle is Zuby Ejiofor. The Big East Player of the Year, Zuby actually played in Lawrence for one season before locking down in Queens the last three. He will be ready. Pitino will be ready and the Bank of Benj will be ready to accept another deposit. If you're nervous about the 3.5 point spread, try the money line.
