Your Heart Attack Hoyas were at it again. Georgetown’s last six games have been within five points in the last two minutes. Today, a 10-point second-half lead against St. John’s withered to just two in crunch time. The Red Storm had the ball and a chance to tie, and a lively Madison Square Garden crowd was ready to push the Red Storm over the hump.
But St. John’s couldn’t quite even the game despite bumrushing the offensive glass, with a lay-in and one putback after another going astray. The Hoyas recovered the ball, and a Mac McClung breakaway dunk gave Georgetown the breathing room it needed.
