The Big East Tournament is this week and St. John’s will start it off vs Georgetown on Wednesday night.
It will be the same matchup as it was a week ago when St. John’s hung on to beat their long-time Big East rival, 86-80, at Madison Square Garden, which was their last victory of the regular season.
The two teams will square off again this week with much higher stakes.
Georgetown is reeling, coming in with a five-game losing streak. St. John’s is not coming in with the best of momentums either, losing their last tow games including an 86-75 home loss to the Providence Friars in their season finale.
