Well, that’s certainly a way to grab your first win in Washington, DC since 2003.
The St. John’s Red Storm (14-1, 2-1 Big East) came back from a double-digit second-half deficit to defeat the Georgetown Hoyas (11-4, 1-1 Big East), 97-94, on Saturday afternoon. Shamorie Ponds led the Johnnies with a season-high 37 points on 11-of-21 shooting, including 6-of-10 from deep and 9-of-12 from the free-throw line. Five Hoyas scored double figures, including Jessie Govan, who scored a team-high 25 points.
Trey Mourning (concussion) and Mac McClung (sprained ankle) were out of commission for the fourth- and third-consecutive games, respectively.
