NEW YORK -- There may be some fire left in the old rivalry yet. It was win or go home in the BIG EAST Tournament opener between No. 8 St. John’s and No. 9 Georgetown Thursday night, two ancient conference rivals who have a long history between them. Some of it not so pleasant. So when a hard foul by St. John’s Amar Alibegovic led to a pushing match between players from both teams, which led to a shouting match between Johnnies’ head coach Chris Mullin and Georgetown’s John Thompson III, which led to the coaches being separated, well, it just seemed like a “Turn Back the Clock” night at the World’s Most Famous Arena.
