The defense was unwatchable.
Back in mid-January, St. John's was completely controlled by D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera and Georgetown from the opening tip to the final buzzer at The Garden.
On Monday night at the Verizon Center, it was much of the same as the Johnnies never held a lead, losing 92 to 67, and were in over their head guarding Smith-Rivera (24 points), Isaac Copeland (23 points) and L.J. Peak (20 points).
Kassoum Yakwe, 12 points and three blocks, had his second straight solid performance while Malik Ellison finished with nine points on 2-of-5 shooting. Federico Mussini added eight points on 2-of-9 shooting and Yankuba Sima continued to look rusty, scoring three points, but Christian Jones looked aggressive on his way to 14 points and nine boards.
