St. John’s (15-3, 6-1 Big East) won its 10th game in its last 11 tries and is off to its best start in conference play since the 1998-99 season, when it started 8-1 and went to the Elite Eight. The Red Storm has won eight straight against Georgetown (12-5, 3-3).

It was ugly. It was clunky. It was, at times, equal parts frustrating and exasperating. It was also classic 2024-25 St. John’s, because it ended with the Johnnies on the right side of the win column.

Your Georgetown Hoyas traveled up I-95 to the Garden for a mid-week match against the St. John’s Red Storm, once again starting strong only to crack in the second half, ultimately falling by a score of 63-58.
