Xavier will attempt to rebound from a Big East Conference-opening loss at Villanova on Sunday when St. John's comes to Cintas Center (4:30 p.m., FOX) in the Musketeers' first of a three-game conference homestand.
St. John's, under new head coach Mike Anderson, who coached previously at Arkansas, Missouri and UAB, enters Sunday 11-3 overall, coming off a 60-58 home loss Tuesday to No. 11 Butler in its Big East Conference opener.
Sunday's trip to Cintas will be the Red Storm's first true road game of the season, but St. John's does have a neutral-site win over No.
