A look back at the hard-fought 86-80 St. John’s Red Storm win over Georgetown...
Winning the opening tip, Georgetown brought the ball up and eighteen seconds into the game, fed 6 foot 6 inch L.J. Peak under the basket as he was posting up 6’0” Marcus LoVett for an easy turnaround jumper. Too easy, St. John’s fans feared.
Over the next four minutes the Hoyas held the lead despite turning the ball over six times; St. John’s only hit three out of nine shots in that period.
