St. John’s Shamorie Ponds has been named to this week’s Big East Honor Roll after averaging 21 points, six rebounds six assists and almost two steals in the Advocare Invitational Tournament.
Per St. John’s official release, Ponds was 10 points short of the record, held by Kansas State’s Michael Beasley’s three-game scoring record.

We have not seen the Advocare Invitational All-Tournament team press release, but we see that Jevon Carter of West Virginia won MVP. Daxter Miles earned a spot, as did Ponds, Missouri’s Jontay Porter and Jordan Barnett.
The Big East Player of the Week was Jalen Brunson; the freshman of the week was Mitchell Ballock, who apparently is listed as the more friendly “Mitch” now.
