Slow start to 2025-26 Ejiofor amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 96-81 victory over Baylor.

Impact Ejiofor hasn't quite made the big leap that was expected in his second season with St. John's, as he has just one double-double through six games, and both his scoring (14.2 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg) are down a bit from last season's marks. That's at least due in part to the presence of transfer Bryce Hopkins in the frontcourt, who led the team with 26 in Tuesday's tilt. Ejiofor's outlook remains positive, and his busy game week will continue with another high-profile matchup against Auburn on Wednesday in the Players Era Festival.

Alabama HC Nate Oats After Ranked Win Over St. John's at MSG: 'We've Got Mudita'

27-point double-double in loss Ejiofor produced 27 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 loss to Alabama.

Impact Ejiofor was an all-out force in the eventual loss to the Crimson Tide, contributing for the Red Storm on all facets of the court. The senior big man missed just three shots from the field, and he tacked on 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the year. He was also a problem for Alabama on the defensive front, totaling two steals and blocks. While the seven-point loss was a tough way for the Johnnies to finish out their second game of the year, Ejiofer's performance previewed a dominance that should continue to be showcased this entire season.

Impact Ejiofor had a stellar 2024-25 season, averaging 14.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game, and the senior center is looking to elevate his game once again this season. He was the only St. John's player to score more than 14 points Saturday, and he paced the team in assists. Ejiofor's assist output mirrors a trend he established late last season: he averaged 2.8 assists across his final 12 games, after averaging 1.0 assists per contest leading up to that point.
