In crunch time, the Big East Player of the Year was not on the floor.
Over the final 4:56 of the second half of St. John’s season-ending, 75-66 loss to Arkansas in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, star RJ Luis Jr. did not play after getting subbed out.
It had been a struggle all game for Luis, who shot 3-of-17 from the field with just nine points.
When asked after the game how it felt to be on the bench during crunch time, Luis said: “Let my teammates down.”
“It feels like we didn’t do anything, really, after today,” Luis said of the loss ending the team’s incredible season. “Just sucks to lose, the way we lost, the way we went out.”
