Nate Johnson is in a serious slump. From the DePaul game on, he’s shooting 6-27 (22%) from behind the arc. During that same time he’s 2-11 inside the arc. Subtract the Creighton game and that becomes 1-20 and 2-8. Those are not the numbers of the best shooter on the team, but they are the numbers Nate is putting up right now. Can Xavier win against real competition with Johnson stuck in this rut? That remains to be seen.
For starters, this is the worst slump of Johnson’s career. In his sophomore season he closed with a 4-21 stretch that is comparable.
