With Marcus LoVett still out due to an ankle injury, Shamorie Ponds once again spearheaded St. John’s offense in a 90-62 win over the rival Fordham Rams. Ponds finished with a game- and career-high 26 points on 9/13 shooting from the floor. He also grabbed seven rebounds and dished out nine assists throughout the game.
St. John’s improves to 5-5 on the season, while Fordham drops to 5-5.
Revenge (for last year’s breaches of blowout protocol) looks a bit like this: walk-on Elijah Holifield nailed a three to bring the Red Storm’s scoring squarely to 90 points in a game where the visiting Fordham Rams led once and the lead never dipped below 10 points in the second half.
