SportsLine's model simulated Tuesday's St. John's Red Storm vs. Georgetown Hoyas college basketball matchup 10,000 times

No. 2 Duke has been playing some of the best basketball so far this season, only losing to No. 9 Kentucky and No. 12 Kansas. It’s all thanks to freshman G/forward Cooper Flagg, who emerged as one of the best players in college basketball.

Sure, the win at Kansas is really the only marquee victory Houston has so far this season, but a 13-game winning streak with 11 double-digit wins over that stretch earns Kelvin Sampson's team a place in the top tier of the sport.

The Huskies have lost three times since the first meeting with the Blue Demons, an 81-68 road victory. UConn is coming off a 76-72 loss to Xavier and have alternated wins and losses for their last six games since the first meeting with DePaul. The squad sits at 14-6 and is 6-3 in the conference, two games behind Marquette and St. John’s at the top.
