Nebraska-Omaha vs St. John's Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Betting Trends and Stats for 2025 March Madness
St. John’s (30-4) returns to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019 in Rick Pitino's second season as head coach. The Red Storm are led by Big East Player of the Year RJ Luis. They thrive in transition and play a suffocating, physical brand of defense.
Nebraska-Omaha (22-12) is making their first appearance in the NCAA tournament after winning the Summit League, but the Mavericks are likely to have their hands full against Pitino and one of the most dynamic teams in the whole country. In order to pull off the upset, Omaha must slow the game down, limit turnovers and execute in the half-court. The Mavericks' leading scorer, Marquel Sutton (19.1ppg), will need to have a big night for the glass slipper to fit.
Lets dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.
