Quinn Ellis brings crowd to its feet in St. John’s rout of Colgate

St John’s beat Colgate 90-59 on Wednesday, extending its unbeaten start with a third consecutive emphatic win. British point guard Quinn Ellis stood out with an energetic dunk and a composed performance that is helping address a key weakness from last season.

Ellis recorded six points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals, with no turnovers in 32 minutes. Across three games, he has 27 assists and just two turnovers in 90 minutes. St John’s pulled away with a 23-4 run spanning half-time; Ian Jackson, Tounde Yessoufou and Keyshawn Hall scored 48 points combined, while Lefteris Liotopoulos added 13 and Ruben Prey had 11 points and eight rebounds.
