St. John's Red Storm faced an unexpected early exit in the NCAA Tournament, losing 75-66 to No. 10 Arkansas. The team struggled significantly with shooting percentages, finishing with 28% from the field and 9.1% from three-point range. Forward Zuby Ejiofor stood out with 23 points, but the lack of offensive support was crucial. Coach Rick Pitino noted the team played better opponents and acknowledged that foul troubles impacted their gameplay. Despite the loss, the season was historic, featuring their first Big East regular-season title in 40 years and revitalizing the program's goals.
It sucks, forward Zuby Ejiofor, who scored a team-high 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting and a 9-of-11 showing from the charity stripe. I felt like we could have been better in a lot of areas. Yeah, it just sucks.
Foul trouble certainly hurt us but they were a better team. They outplayed us. They deserve to move on and we don't. That's what March Madness is all about.
