UConn Huskies
Last time out, UConn continued their great start to the season with a 74-66 home win over Villanova. This was a fun game that saw Villanova stick around and make this a fight for the Huskies. After trailing early in the second half, UConn grabbed the lead for good, and kept their unbeaten start to the season alive, but could not cover the big 12.0-point spread.
Jordan Hawkins had 22 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and one block on the night. Alex Karaban added 15 points, six rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block in the win.
Through 14 games, UConn is scoring 82.9 points per game, shooting 48.0% from the field, and assisting on 18.8 made shots. The Huskies are allowing 59.1 points, grabbing 39.1 rebounds, blocking 5.0 shots, and stealing the ball 7.9 times.
Xavier Musketeers
Xavier visited the St. John’s Red Storm and won a comfortable 84-78 contest. The Red Storm went on a late run to make the final score seem much closer than the game actually was. Xavier completely dominated this game as they never trailed by more than one point and led by as many as 18. The Musketeers covered the two-point spread.
Jack Nunge went off for 23 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and one steal on the night. Zach Freemantle added 14 points, nine rebounds, and one block in the win.
