After a pair of drubbings by teams at the top of the conference, St. John's takes a trip to the nation's capital to face the Georgetown Hoyas, at the bottom of the Big East standings.
Make no mistake - these Hoyas will likely be favored in the game, and come with a combination of length and talent that is on the cusp of a win, if not a true breakout. And St. John’s defensive efforts leave the door open for an opponent to take advantage when the shots stop falling or turnovers happen, as against Xavier.
