Desmond Claude - Rains in three triplesClaude had 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 96-71 win over St. John's.
ImpactAs a team, Xavier poured in 15-of-28 three-point attempts to fuel the blowout victory. Claude joined the fun, and the freshman has logged 59 minutes across his last two contests. With Zach Freemantle (foot) expected to miss another month, Claude is due for a sizable role moving forward.

Posh Alexander - Insufficiently scores eightAlexander finished with eight points (4-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Saturday's 96-71 loss to Xavier.
ImpactAlexander missed most of his field goals and both free throws he attempted. But, it is expected that Alexander will continue to be a part of the Red Storm's starting lineup. Thus, Alexander will receive opportunities to redeem himself and prove that he is a worthwhile starter.
