## Summary

Ruben Prey delivered the energetic, all-round performance St John’s had been seeking, helping the No. 13 team beat Colgate 90-59. After first-half foul trouble limited him, the junior made his mark at both ends of the court in the second half, drawing praise from coach Rick Pitino.

Prey scored nine points, took eight rebounds and made two blocks in the final 20 minutes. Babacar Sane returned from an ankle injury to contribute nine points and six rebounds in 16 minutes, while freshman Theo Edema sat out with a foot injury and was expected to return against Syracuse on Sunday. St John’s also signed five-star wing Malachi Jordan.
