The last two NCAA men’s basketball teams to receive at-large bids into March Madness were St. John’s vs Arizona State. Many prognosticators had viewed those two programs as among the “first four out,” meaning that they would be among those who failed to make it in, but they will play Wednesday in Dayton, for the chance to face sixth-seeded Buffalo in the West Region. St. John’s (21-12, 8-10 Big East) split with Villanova and beat Marquette twice, so that sub-.500 conference record shows considerable inconsistency. Arizona State and St. John’s both played Princeton and Cal; Princeton beat Arizona State by one on the road, while St. John’s beat Princeton by 13 in a holiday tournament. Arizona State swept Cal, and St. John’s beat Cal in a November tournament. We have your March Madness betting preview for this play-in contest below.
