Ugh:

Elias Harden is suspended for the St. John's game and did not make the trip. No more information was given, only that it's a coaches decision.

Those of you who follow us on Twitter know that Xavier is 8-2 when Harden gets at least 15 minutes. He figures to get 0 minutes against St. John's, what with being suspended and all.

That stat is a little bit of a red herring, but what isn't is that Harden has been ascendant of late. He sparked Xavier's rally against Nova with a career-high 26 minutes.
