Xavier Johnson, SIU-Carbondale guard is the newly ranked
#1
scorer in the NCAA, and went off for 31 points against UIC last night for the win.

Xavier Johnson is a warrior. After Wednesday's game at Drake, he had to catch a flight for the funeral of his Grandfather. Came back late Thursday night, then practice Friday, then played today. How did he handle it all? That and more in our postgame with him

Loved catching up with my guy
@Sheridan5Sharp
today! Interview should be out on Saluki socials shortly. We spend a lot of time of what he took away from
@xav1erj0
, and what he has focused on this offseason.
During the bye week, it is good to get inside the gym with
@SIU_Basketball
earlier today! Can't wait to get to know the guys more...and I think
@T_Miller2022
needs to stop getting on

No layup is safe with AJ in the game, man could have caught a block last night with his armpit. Just stupid, unique type stuff.
Last night he had a chase down block on the baseline, sent the ball to their bench. The recovery speed and bounce are something else.

Keep Shooting

Brown was 4-5 last night from three, which now marks his 6th game this year where he has made at least three THREES in a game. He has made 22 threes already, he had 26 all of last season.
GREAT GREAT OPPORTUNITY! Take advantage of this if you have the chance! Surrounded by family for 4 years of my life! Big reason I’m where I’m at today!
Young players, please read! Xavier and his family saw the value in our program, and the growth opportunity in a boarding school. Special young man, and a special family. Nothing is a surprise because he puts the work in daily. So proud! Keep working!

will NEVER rank LeBron ahead of Michael Jordan. The only thing he could do to be even with MJ as the GOAT?
"Erase the six Finals loses."
Congratulations to Xavier Johnson for being named to the VISAA Division I All State Team for the second year in a row, as well as a second team selection to the Washington Post All Met Team!
