St. John's Starts Slow, Then Roars Past Harvard

St. John's used aggressive defense and superior rebounding to dominate Harvard, outscoring them 42-28 in the paint and winning by 26 points, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, St. John's Red Storm defeated Harvard 85-59 at Carnesecca Arena in Queens, N.Y., rebounding after a weekend loss and denying Harvard a resume-building chance.
  • St. John's flipped the game with a 20-2 run to end the half and a 12-3 start to the second half, using a full-court press that forced turnovers and secured a halftime edge.
  • Efficient shooting—31-for-62 with nine triples—backed the Red Storm, with Ejiofor, Hopkins, and Jackson each scoring 14 points.
  • St. John's moved to 8-4 and now begins its final 19 Big East games starting New Year's Eve at Georgetown, while Harvard fell to 6-7 and will finish non-conference play on Sunday at Colgate.
  • Rick Pitino leaned on his pressure defense and a bigger lineup to wear down Harvard's shorter starters, while his urging for Bryce Hopkins to become an alpha dog preceded Hopkins' assertive game Tuesday.
