Zuby Ejiofor’s Triple-Double Stuns Villanova, Propels No. 15 St. John’s to Unexpected Victory

The 6-foot-9, 245-pound Ejiofor, who also blocked three shots, had the fifth triple-double by a St. John’s player since the 1985-86 season, the school said. It was the second in the past 26 years, after Kadary Richmond had one in the regular-season finale last year at Marquette.

Ejiofor, the preseason Big East player of the year, said it was probably his first triple-double in organized basketball.

“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,” Red Storm coach Rick Pitino said, prompting chuckles at his postgame news conference.
