A well-rounded offensive attack saw Xavier men's basketball take a 54-39 lead into halftime Saturday against the St. John's University Red Storm.
The No. 16-ranked Musketeers (12-2, 2-0 Big East) fell behind St. John's (8-8, 2-1 Big East) by nine points at the 13:13 mark of the half. From there, the Musketeers cruised to their halftime lead.
Xavier junior guard Trevon Bluiett, who went 0 of 10 from the field a week ago at Georgetown, ended his slump with 13 first-half points on 4 of 9 shooting and three 3-pointers.
One game removed from his career-high outing of 28 points against the Hoyas in Washington, D.
