St. John’s moved to 7-9 in Big East play, topping off the reeling Hoyas, 86-80.
Coming out in the first half, Georgetown looked sluggish. Despite a slim 13-10 lead early on, the Hoyas offense simply was not clicking. St. John’s wasn’t fully taking advantage of Georgetown’s struggles until Federico Mussini checked in. The Italian guard drilled two quick three-pointers, igniting a ferocious 17-0 St. John’s run.
Mussini would finish today’s contest with 16 points and 1 assist. He shot 5-6 from the field and 3-4 from deep.
Georgetown would respond using their own 17-0 run to avoid getting blown out.
