After having a lead late the Men’s Basketball team couldn’t finish and lost to Xavier University 77-74, a scenario Red Storm fans have become familiar with this season.
The Musketeers came into Madison Square Garden on President’s Day with a 10-game winning streak against the Red Storm. On the other hand, the Red Storm were riding a three-game losing streak at the arena, and looking to win back-to-back games in conference play for the first time after defeating Providence on Feb. 12.
The Red Storm got off to a slow start as they spent most of the first four minutes without a field goal and their only point being a free throw from Rasheem Dunn.
