"It means everything to have this type of performance, especially with my family in the crowd as well. Incredible for the 5-man on your team to get 10 assists. But he is the team leader in assists. And he was very well rested because he took a day off against Connecticut."
"You knew Zuby wasn't going to come out and lay an egg. He was phenomenal defensively, the way he was switching, talking, communicating. You've got to give them a lot of credit. They played well."
St. John's bounced back from a devastating 72-40 loss to UConn by dominating Villanova 89-57 in a regular-season home game. Senior center Zuby Ejiofor delivered a career-defining performance with 16 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, and three blocks for his first triple-double. The 6-foot-9 big man, named preseason Big East player of the year, became only the fifth St. John's player to achieve a triple-double since 1985-86 and the second in 26 years. Coach Rick Pitino praised Ejiofor's well-rested performance after sitting out the Connecticut game. The Red Storm's dominant victory ended a difficult stretch following their worst loss in three seasons under Pitino.
