Argh. Just three days after pulling out a big road upset to kick off Big East play, Georgetown seemed poised to continue its recent strong play by knocking off St. John’s at home Saturday. The Hoyas emerged from a see-saw second half to claim a 4-point lead with 17 seconds remaining. But a late turnover, a botched final possession, and a flat-footed start to overtime all doomed Georgetown, which ultimately fell, 97-94.
Georgetown came out of the gates strong today. After a few back-and-forth possessions, the Red Storm went cold, and the Hoyas rattled off a 17-4 run that gave Georgetown a double-digit lead.
