St. John’s bounces back to pick up a key win on the road beating Xavier, 86-73.
After back to back losses against ranked teams, and St. John’s well-documented struggles playing at Xavier, it seemed like a forgone conclusion that the skid would continue in Cincinnati against the fringe-top 25 Xavier Musketeers. However, it appears this Red Storm team did not get the memo.
Julian Champagnie had one of his best offensive halves against a respectable opponent in recent memory. Julian’s has been inefficient over the past nine games where he has averaged just over 13 points per game on over 15 attempts per contest.
