PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Kadary Richmond will not look back fondly at the final game of his college career. 

The main player, known for his skills, couldn’t contribute much in the game against Arkansas. St. John’s, the second-seeded team, lost 75-66 to No. 10 Arkansas in the West Region second-round match on Saturday. He was hardly on the court during this crucial game.

Richmond fouled out in 16 minutes as the Johnnies’ offensive struggles ended their season. 

Richmond expressed his disappointment, stating, “It’s a hard loss. It’s tough to exit this way.” He only scored five points with a 2-for-7 shooting record, in addition to grabbing four rebounds and providing two assists. Reflecting on the game, he acknowledged the opponent’s stronger performance and some challenging decisions made by the referees.

Richmond chose not to criticize the officiating, questionable as it may have been.

He only played six minutes in the first half after picking up two quick fouls.

He fouled out with 6:28 left in the second half. 

When questioned about the fairness of the referees’ calls, Richmond responded, “That’s not something I can control. The referees made their decisions, and we have to accept the final outcome.”

Richmond was unable to help down the stretch, helplessly watching from the bench.

It marked the first game he fouled out this season — or the previous two years, for that matter.

Richmond’s decision to transfer from Seton Hall to St. John’s elevated the Queens school.

With the Brooklyn native leading the way, the Johnnies won their first outright Big East regular-season title since 1985 and first Big East Tournament crown in 25 years.

He wished it lasted a little longer. 

“We had a special group of guys from the coaching staff down to the players and the managers,” Richmond said. “I’m thankful and appreciative that they allowed me to come here and be the person I am and I will always be thankful to them for that.”
