Zuby Ejiofor - Step back in tough matchup Ejiofor amassed nine points (3-7 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 65-60 victory over Seton Hall.
Impact Ejiofor entered this contest averaging 19.1 points and 7.8 rebounds over his last eight, but a step back was to be expected given Seton Hall has some of the top marks in the country in terms of two-point FG defense, block rate and turnover rate. Despite the down game, Ejiofor managed to get his teammates involved with a three-game high in assists, and his 3.2 apg average through 19 contests is roughly double last year's mark. Meanwhile, St. John's has won five games in a row and sits at 7-1 in conference play, just a game behind UConn, entering Wednesday's action. Next up is a road matchup against Xavier, which projects much more favorably for Ejiofor's outlook.

Impact Mitchell recorded his third double-double of the season Tuesday, two of which have come in his last two contests. He scored 17 points for the third time this season and it could have been more if he didn't struggle greatly from the charity stripe, only hitting three of eight attempts from the line. Mitchell has been productive over his last five games since joining the starting lineup, averaging 9.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.2 minutes per game.
