Red Storm (23-6, 16-2 Big East) bounced back strongly after a 72-40 loss at UConn. Ian Jackson added 19 points and a career-high five steals off the bench, while Oziyah scored 14 points in St. John's most lopsided victory over Villanova.
The win keeps St. John's half-game behind No. 6 UConn in the conference standings. Ejiofor's triple-double was just the fourth in school history, with the previous one coming last season by Kadary Richmond.
