Video: Watch Shamorie Ponds Drain 3-Pointer from Logo for St. John's vs. ASU

The first half of a First Four showdown with Arizona State may not have gone the way St. John's would have wanted, but an early highlight out of Shamorie Ponds helped the Red Storm keep pace early on.

As time ran down on the shot clock on a possession in the opening minutes, Ponds showed off his range by pulling up from the logo.

That deep three evened the score at 8-8.

Ponds' highlight-reel shot would soon become a distant memory, though. The Sun Devils responded by scoring the next five points to spark a 16-2 run.

St. John's entered halftime trailing 38-25 despite 12 points from Ponds.
