Coburn leads Saint John's (NY) against Marquette after 20-point outing
Saint John's (NY) faces the Marquette Golden Eagles after Tareq Coburn scored 20 points in the Red Storm's 81-66 win against the Xavier MusketeersMARCH 4, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dwon Odom - Chips in eight points Odom ended with eight points (2-3 FG, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 loss to St. John's.
Impact Odom has been efficient the last three games, going 56.3 percent from the floor. The sophomore has averaged eight points, 2.4 assists and 1.2 rebounds during 27 minutes.

Zach Freemantle - Contributes nine points Freemantle posted nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one block and two steals across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 loss to St. John's.
Impact Freemantle played a reduced role in Wednesday's loss, recording less than 20 minutes for the first time since Dec. 5. He didn't settle for easy shots and took no attempts from beyond the arc to keep the defense from taking advantage of his 20.5 percent from three-point territory on the season. The junior will look to continue playing good team basketball against Georgetown on Saturday.

Jack Nunge - Double-double in defeat Nunge amassed 12 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 11 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 loss to St. John's.
Impact Nunge has been a bright spot for a Xavier team that is otherwise in free fall, as the Musketeers have lost seven of their last eight games. Nunge has at least performed well individually over that span, averaging 14.8 points and 8.0 rebounds. Still, it's possible Xavier has played itself out of tournament contention, though the Musketeers could help their case with a definitive victory over Georgetown on Saturday to close out the regular season.
