Nov. 19—It was likely the John Carroll men's basketball team's best win of the young season. The Blue Streaks won the championship game of the Wheaton Tournament in Illinois against the host team, 60-56, on Nov. 19. Wheaton — 22-7 a season ago and preseason Top 25 team — gave JCU all it could handle, but a rough performance from 3-point range was the difference. The Thunder were just 1-for-21 from beyond the arc, and Wheaton's top player Tyson Cruickshank was 1 of 9. On the other side, JCU was 4 of 10 from 3, two from Mentor grad Luke Chicone (eight points, six rebounds, three assists).
