St. John's vs. Arkansas forecast
Lewis has recently shot the ball and fueled Red Storm's Big East Tournament run, fueling his first-round victory over Omaha.
In his final 18 games, Lewis hit multiple three-pointers on 11 times, earning his season-high with five trays in 64 rounds on Thursday.
Lewis has also gained momentum with three balls, apparently hitting more than two in seven of his final eight contests.
This hot stretch comes after Lewis hit just 11 trays in his first 16 games of the season, suggesting a change in his approach on the court.
Arkansas is defensively solid, but below average from Deep, allowing 7.6 per game.
