From his home country of Nigeria to Christ School to Harvard and finally Saint Joseph’s University.

What a ride the sport of basketball has given Justice Ajogbor ’20, and it’s not over yet. 

Conference tournaments put the madness in March Madness with 31 winners across the country gaining automatic entry into the NCAA tournament. Keep an eye on the Atlantic 10 Tournament this weekend in Pittsburgh. Justice and St. Joe’s (21-10) are the No. 3 seed and play either Davidson or Loyola Chicago on Friday at 7:30 p.m., a quarterfinal game that will be televised on CNBC. 

Justice was named the Atlantic 10’s Co-Defensive Player of the Year on Wednesday. He is the NCAA Division I active leader in blocked shots (252) with the very Greenie balance of maintaining a 3.61 cumulative GPA as a graduate student studying Applied Investment Analysis.

Justice was able to come to Christ School because of his adopted family, the Bridgefords (Greg P'18 and Gina P'18).
