CINCINNATI — Xavier senior guard Remy Abell has been named to the BIG EAST Conference Weekly Honor Roll. Abell is the fifth different Musketeer to be honored by the BIG EAST already this season. Abell averaged 13.5 points, 3.0 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 0.5 steals in XU’s first two BIG EAST games, while shooting 9-12 (.750) from the field, including 4-5 (.800) from 3-point range. He led Xavier with a career-high 21 points on 7-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-3 from 3-point range, to go with four assists and a block in the Butler win on Jan. 2.
Sophomore Trevon Bluiett (four times), junior Jalen Reynolds (twice), and junior Myles Davis (once) have each been named at least once to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll. In addition, freshman Edmond Sumner has been named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week twice.
Xavier, 13-1 overall and 1-1 in the BIG EAST Conference, visits St. John’s on Wednesday night for a 9 p.m. game on FS1. The only other time Xavier has played at Carnesecca Arena was in the 1981-82 season when it was still known as Alumni Hall. XU lost to a Lou Carnesecca team that included a freshman guard named Chris Mullin, now the first-year head coach of the Red Storm.
