🧩 Key Matchup Themes
Pace & scoring: Both teams can score, but St. John’s has been more efficient and consistent.

Three-point differential: Xavier hits nearly 10 threes per game; St. John’s allows fewer than 7.

Recent momentum: St. John’s enters hotter; Xavier has been inconsistent defensively.

Star power: Carroll vs. Ejiofor/Jackson sets up a compelling offensive duel

This game is starting out like the Creighton game. The guards are playing terrible defense. St. john's is shooting 73 % .

Wow what pace. Anderson and Carroll are really playing. Hope we can continue this pace.

When St. John's shooting percentage started to fall with a 2 plus minute, X took advantage and took lead by 7. Refs have been weak on a number of calls as usual.

Ref are crap call touch foul on Robinson but when filip get bumped nothing until the SJ guy does it again. Stop the fae away when you are taller Filip

Put Anderson back in. Moore is getting killed on the defensive end. Doesn't anticipate or fight thru screens. Not sure what Wright is doing to earn all his time

Need to pick up the pace again. Put in Anderson. Not enough movement on offense.

The physicality of St. John’s is just killing us in the second half

The semi-bald ref is crap. Always has been, and doing it again today. The young one is challenging to be the worst

You cannot win when you continually give up 90 pts. We do not or cannot play D
