Five players in double-digit scoring, lead by Julian Champagnie, resulted in a blowout of Georgetown, 88-69.
After two tough road losses to Providence and Connecticut, the Red Storm returned home and truly benefitted from playing the cellar-dweller Georgetown Hoyas.
The first half against the Hoyas went largely as one might expect with St. John’s having played to their strengths. The Johnnies’ pressure helped win the turnover battle, 12 to 5 where the Red Storm scored 15 points off of those 12 turnovers. One of such turnover was a shot clock violation to go along with several near shot clock violations that resulted in wild shots by Georgetown.
