"The St John's coach witnessed a terrible second half, which included his team missing the final 24 shots from the field in a 72-40 blowout by No. 6 UConn. It was the worst shooting performance in a game by a ranked team in eight seasons, according to ESPN insights."
"The 15th-ranked Red Storm (22-6) was held to just 11-56 (20 %) shooting on the night. The last field goal came with 17:28 left on a layup by Zuby Ejiofor. Joson Sanon was the only St. John's player in double figures with 10 points all in the first half."
"This was the largest defeat by a Pitino-led St. John's squad during his tenure. It was also their fewest points in a game since a 66-40 loss at Notre Dame in March 2013."
