The old Big East this wasn’t. Patrick Ewing’s return to Madison Square Garden as the Georgetown’s head coach was symbolically touching but visually painful. Eventually, the Hoyas slogged their way to a 69-66 win over St. John’s and its coach, Ewing’s old Big East rival Chris Mullin. With two ‘80s icons now looming over the sidelines of their alma maters and Bill Raftery on the call, the game didn’t quite live up to its billing. Both teams struggled to score and committed one mistake after another, with Georgetown turning the ball over an eye-gouging 22 times and St. John’s hoisting up bricks and hacking away on defense.
