After an easy win against the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, St. John’s traveled down to Miami to play the defensively stingy Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech was anything but easy, however, the Red Storm find a way to win late, 76-73.
First Half
St. John’s brought the heat to Miami to start the contest, going up 8 just after the 12 minute mark. By starting their offense behind the NBA three-point line, the Red Storm spaced Georgia Tech’s defense leading to early finishes at the bucket and trips to the free throw line.
However, after earning their 8-point lead, the Red Storm stopped going to the basket, stopped moving the ball, and consequently, stopped winning.
