QUEENS, N.Y. – The search for a fifth straight Xavier win runs through St. John's and Carnesecca Arena Thursday night (6:30 p.m., FS1).
Neither the Musketeers or the Red Storm will be at full strength. Xavier announced Wednesday that sophomore Elias Harden did not make the trip because he's suspended, a coach's decision.
It's been reported that St. John's guard Mustapha Heron, the team's second-leading scorer, will not play due to injury.
Xavier 13, St. John's 5, 15:38 first half – After turnovers on Xavier's first two possessions, Naji Marshall knocked down his first two looks from 3-point range.
