Georgetown managed to turn the ball over 17 times, yield 20 offensive rebounds, give up a buzzer beater, and nevertheless beat St. John’s 97-94 in overtime on Sunday night. The Hoyas’ first Big East win wasn’t pretty, but it was a win.
The revelation of the night was Dante Harris, who scored a career-high 22 points to lead four Hoyas in double figures. For the second straight game, Harris scored more points than he had in all previous games to date (16; look for a 40 piece from him next week!). He drove speedily, sometimes heedlessly to the rim, juicing a offense that topped 40 points in the first half for the second straight game.
