Coach Rick Pitino and No. 15 St. John's will wrap up their season series with struggling Georgetown on Tuesday evening at Washington, D.C., in a game that will feature teams going in opposite directions. The Red Storm (17-3, 8-1 Big East) have won six straight games and are tied with No. 9 Marquette atop the conference standings in large part due to a strong defense and timely offense by Kadary Richmond and RJ Luis. The recent success helped them move up five spots in the this week's Associated Press Top 25 poll. Pitino, a Hall of Fame coach, has St John's off to its best start in 39 years and he is on track to take his sixth different school to the NCAA Tournament after missing out in his first season with the Red Storm.
