A scorching first half from Rodney Pryor and a monster second half from LJ Peak weren’t enough as Georgetown lost in the first round of the Big East Tournament to lowly St. John’s Wednesday night, 74-73. The Hoyas fought valiantly but not competently down the stretch, never fully making up ground in a second half in which they never led. The defeat, the Hoyas’ sixth straight, concludes their second straight losing season. Georgetown now enters a long off-season where it faces big questions about the future of the program.
We’ll have more later in the evening, but here is the box score, and here are lyrics from the Smiths’ “It’s Over”:
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well.
