NEW YORK (AP) --- Ian Jackson and Keyshawn Hall scored 17 points apiece,
leading No. 13 St. John's to a 90-59 victory over Colgate on Wednesday night.
Tounde Yessoufou followed up his 23-point showing against Iona with 15 points,
four rebounds and three steals. Lefteris Liotopoulos contributed 13 points as
the Red Storm outscored Colgate 51-27 in the final 23 1/2 minutes.
Ruben Prey finished with 11 points and eight rebounds, and new point guard
Quinn Ellis, from England, added nine assists.
Jackson made 6 of 10 shots, including three 3-pointers. Jackson, a preseason
first-team All-Big East pick, scored 11 of his points over the final 3:34, when
the Red Storm stretched a six-point lead to a 17-point margin by halftime.
Hall made 5 of 9 shots and withstood a minor injury scare when he was fouled by
Cameron Brennan with 6:45 left. Hall took a hard fall on the baseline, but got
up after getting checked out and took two free throws before leaving the game
for good.
The Red Storm (3-0) shot 48.4% and went 12 of 30 from 3-point range in their
second game at Carnesecca Arena on campus in Queens and earned their third
straight double-digit victory.
St. John's also scored 27 points off nine turnovers. The Red Storm finished
with 11 steals.
The Red Storm let a 15-point lead slip to 38-32 with 3:34 left, but scored the
final 11 points of the first half for a 49-32 lead following Jackson's
coast-to-coast layup at the buzzer.
The Red Storm continued pulling away and opened a 61-36 lead when Yessoufou and
Jackson sank corner 3s early in the second half.
Andrew Alekseyenko led Colgate (0-3) with 15 points and eight rebounds. The
Raiders shot 37.7% and were 7 of 27 from 3-point range.
