St. John's Red Storm Odds

St. John's Red Storm 2025-26 Season

The Red Storm enter the second weekend playing their best basketball of the Rick Pitino era. After a middle-of-the-pack start in the Big East, St. John's caught fire in February, winning eight of their last nine regular-season games to climb safely into the field of 68. Their high-pressure "hell" defense and veteran backcourt leadership allowed them to navigate a difficult conference slate and enter the tournament as one of the most feared middle seeds in the bracket.

Their opening March Madness weekend was a masterclass in resilience and late-game execution. After a comfortable 79–53 victory over Northern Iowa, the Red Storm faced a monumental challenge against No. 4 Kansas. St. John's nearly let a 14-point second-half lead slip away but regained their composure in the final seconds to secure a 67–65 upset. Now back in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999, the Red Storm head to D.C. for a high-stakes matchup against top-seeded Duke, currently the best college basketball team in the country.

Take a look at our college basketball odds to see how the St. John's Red Storm fare in the coming weeks.

Betting on St. John's Red Storm NCAA Basketball

Betting on NCAA Basketball is extremely popular, especially during March Madness! Here are some of the popular bet types that you can make on the Red Storm if you live in a legal sports betting state:

• Moneyline
• Point Spread
• Over/Under
• Props
• Futures Odds

Be sure to keep an eye on current player injury reports when weighing the odds!

St. John's Red Storm Moneyline

The moneyline is a straightforward bet on who will win the game outright, regardless of the score. For example, the moneyline odds were SJU +106 in a matchup against UCONN previously this year.

• St. John's +106
• UCONN -128

The "+" indicates St. John's was a slight underdog. A $100 bet on the Red Storm would have returned $106 in profit (plus your $100 back) because they won the game 81–72, while a wager of $128 on UCONN to win would be required to turn a $100 profit.

St. John's Point Spread

NCAA Basketball point spread bets are a type of "handicap" used to level the playing field between two teams. Let's use the same game against UCONN as an example:

• St. John's +1.5.
• UCONN -1.5

This means St. John's could either win the game or lose by one point and still "cover the spread." Since the Red Storm won by 9 points (81–72), they covered the spread easily. If you had bet on UConn (-1.5), they would have needed to win by 2 or more points for your bet to pay out.

Red Storm Over/Under (Total)

An NCAA Basketball Over/Under bet is on the combined total points scored by both teams.

• Over 143.5 (-110)
• Under 143.5 (-110)

You are betting on whether the total score will be higher (Over) or lower (Under) than that number. In this game, the final score was 81 + 72 = 153. Since 153 is higher than 143.5, the "Over" was the winning bet.

St. John's Red Storm Props

"Props" (proposition bets) are wagers on specific events or individual player stats rather than the final outcome.

Common props that are wagered on include:

• Player Points
• Player Rebounds
• Player Assists
• Player Threes

Many team-based props are also available.

St. John's Red Storm Futures Odds

NCAA Basketball futures odds are long-term bets on events that will be decided at the end of the season. These odds fluctuate based on performance. Earlier in the season, when St. John's were unranked, they were a large long shot to win the title. After their 13-game win streak and the upset over UConn, their odds "shortened" (improved).

How to Bet on the St. John's Red Storm

Online sports betting is fully legal and live in New York, allowing fans to place wagers on the Red Storm from anywhere in the state on the best sportsbooks. Unlike many other states, New York does not allow betting on in-state college teams (like St. John's) for regular-season games. However, once the Red Storm enters a neutral-site tournament like March Madness, these restrictions are lifted, and you can legally bet on them.
