Two weeks after beating them in Cincinnati, the St. John’s Red Storm picked off the Xavier Musketeers again.
The Red Storm’s 81-66 victory means that they earned a season sweep over their Big East nemesis. It also means that they’ve won each of the last three meetings between the two teams. The Musketeers’ 12-game winning streak against the Red Storm that stretched from 2016 through 2021 seems like a distant memory now.
Xavier’s Colby Jones opened up the scoring with a jumper to make it 2-0 Musketeers. Little did anybody know: That would be the only time Xavier led in this entire game.
