The struggles continue for St. John’s as they drop their third straight game in an 83-55 loss to Georgetown, giving the Hoyas their first win in Big East play.
St. John’s falls to 8-10, 2-3 in the Big East, while the Hoyas improve to 9-8, 1-4 in the league. And tonight’s performance will be remembered as Another Terrible Verizon Center Game.
St. John’s came out strong early on both ends. But despite getting off to a hot start, shooting 5-for-8 from the floor, St. John’s lead would only last for eight minutes.
Tariq Owens missed a dunk with just under 13 minutes left in the first half, resulting in a Georgetown dunk that would tie the game at 12.
