YOWZA. I watched 50 minutes of panic-inducing basketball and lived to tell about it. Georgetown fought and scrapped their way to a maddening, frustrating, error-filled, inspiring, exhilarating, and exhausting win over St. John’s Saturday afternoon, prevailing 93-89 in double overtime. The Hoyas were led in regulation by freshman Jamorko Pickett, who shook off a series of poor outings to pour in a career-high 16 points, and his classmate Jahvon Blair, who joined Pickett by nailing four triples that kept Georgetown afloat. In the extra sessions, junior big Marcus Derrickson took over, scoring 16 of his career-high 27 points in the overtimes, including 6 points to fuel a remarkable comeback in the final minute of the first overtime.
