The St. John’s Red Storm basketball team fought hard but came up a bit short in a spirited second half comeback against the 24th ranked Xavier Musketeers last night.
Fans, when asked before the game, to identify the keys to a Red Storm upset cited two things:
· Find an offensive threat amongst St. John’s frontcourt players.
These hopes were challenged in the first eleven seconds of the game when Xavier isolated 6 ‘6” Edmond Sumner down low on 6’0” Marcus LoVett for a short turnaround shot and a 2 to 0 lead.
