SJU 74

Xavier's guards just too big and physical for the inexperienced Johnnies.

Post by: nudginator59 on January 07, 2017, 12:27:07 PM: SJU wins it close and are a surprise 3-1 in conference play with a win over a ranked team at home and a bigger away win over a ranked team.

Hope springs eternal.
