St. John’s jumped out to an early lead, and got a star performance from Julian Champagnie on their way to a blowout 90-77 win over Georgetown. St. John’s improves to 12-9 on the season, 4-6 in the Big East. The Hoyas are 6-14 and winless — 0-9 — in the league.
Early in the game, the Red Storm managed to get four of five starters scoring in the first six minutes of the game, and one played off the bench. The only made jumper in the first six shots — from Julian Champagnie.
The Johnnies were getting to the rim against Georgetown’s fast paced offense and porous defense, so there was time for Champagnie to get comfortable.
