St. John’s barely avoided a tough loss on Sunday against Georgetown with a dramatic last-second three. But the team hopes to build on the bounceback they needed to find late in the game, and get a chance against their bitter rivals, Seton Hall, at home in Queens.
On Sunday, the Johnnies had a chance to go up big in the first half, as they led 35-25, but they allowed a 14-0 Hoyas run to close the half. That said, the Johnnies won the game, and have another big opportunity tonight.
The status of starting guard Posh Alexander is unknown, but the team has found some scoring from wing AJ Storr to go along with the steady double-double work from center Joel Soriano.
