St. John’s final: Johnnies handle Hoyas 94-83
Wendell Cruz The Red Storm found the right groove from fairly early on in the game and, behind a strong overall offensive performance, raced away from the Hoyas for their first Big East win, 94-83 in the rematch of last week’s game in Washington D.C.
St. John’s improves to 6-4, 1-3 in the Big East. Georgetown drops to 3-4, 1-2 in the Big East.
Coach Mike Anderson started Arnaldo Toro and Vince Cole in place of Isaih Moore and Rasheem Dunn, respectively, for the Red Storm. And while some were surprised by Toro’s inclusion, he quickly made his ability felt by slowing down center Qudus Wahab of the Hoyas. With Wahab slowed — and after an early run by Georgetown — the Red Storm settled in nicely.
