Butler hasn't been an easy job for St. John's this season.
The conference rivals will face off in the second round of the Big East Tournament, with Top Speed Red Storm set up as a massive favorite of 12.5 points.
But I don't expect this to be a walk in the park for Rick Pitino's club against the No. 9 seed.

St. John's vs Butler Bet Preview
St. John's got into real trouble this season both times faced Butler, cleaning up the sereis with a total of 14 points.
In Indianapolis in late February, the Bulldogs kept it in a one-podsession game until the second half of the fourth quarter before Red Storm controlled it.
At Madison Square Garden in January, Butler got even closer to defeating the Big East Tournament favorites, taking a 7-point fourth-quarter lead before St. John's was back and pulled away.
Naturally, Johnny couldn't cover the spread in both games.

St. John's vs Butler Prediction
If Pitino and Co.'s tournament run gets shorter, it's a shocker, but don't be surprised if Butler could make this a game.
