"We've said this 100 times this year in huddles – no fear of failure. No fear. Go,' said Rick Pitino. Zuby epitomized that tonight. He just got the ball and went, scored, played with great confidence – the confidence of a two-guard, putting the ball on the floor and making plays. He's had a great, great run, two great years, and he's just so beloved by the fans."
"Zuby Ejiofor made an immediate impact for the Johnnies, scoring seven points and forcing his way to the line four times in his first seven minutes. The Big East Player of the Year favorite finished with his typical impactful stat line – 21 points in 23 minutes, along with two rebounds and three blocks."
St. John's men's basketball secured a crucial 72-65 road victory against Seton Hall in the final regular-season game, clinching at least a share of the Big East regular-season championship for the second straight year—the first time in 40 years this has occurred. The win also locked up the No. 1 seed in the Big East Tournament. Zuby Ejiofor led the Johnnies with 21 points in 23 minutes, along with two rebounds and three blocks, demonstrating the confidence and fearlessness emphasized by coach Rick Pitino. St. John's dominated the paint, scoring 38 of its 72 points inside. Despite shooting poorly from three-point range early, the Red Storm maintained control throughout, leading 30-27 at halftime before pulling away for the decisive victory.
