The version of Ruben Prey that St. John’s was expecting finally arrived in the second half. After being limited by foul trouble in the opening half, the 6-foot-10 junior produced nine points, eight rebounds and two blocks over the final 20 minutes of No. 13 St. John’s 90-59 rout of Colgate at Carnesecca Arena. “I thought he was the Ruben of last year, where he was just flying all over the place,” coach Rick Pitino said. “He did a really good job of just constantly moving on offense and defense, where he really hasn’t been doing that.” What St. John’s needs to work on before its Las Vegas challenges begin After serving as Zuby Ejiofor’s backup the past two seasons, Prey came in this year as the starter.
