Hoyas Complete Regular Season Sweep over St. John’s
WASHINGTON - Junior forward Marcus Derrickson (Bowie, Md./Brewster Academy [N.H.]) nailed a game-tying 3-pointer to force a second overtime as the Hoyas outlasted the visiting St. John’s University Red Storm for the 93-89 double-overtime win. Derrickson tallied a career-high 27 points en route to the victory that claimed the regular season sweep over the Johnnies. With the win, Georgetown improves to 13-6 on the year with a 3-5 mark in BIG EAST play.
“We were using the Syracuse and Butler games as motivation,” Derrickson said postgame. “We didn’t want to have outcomes like those again. We just played hard and fought hard ‘til the end and we were lucky enough to come out with the win.”
