NOTES

This is the first Georgetown – St. John’s meeting since Feb. 28, 2015 where both teams enter with a winning Big East record. Both teams went on to finish above .500 in the league and each made the NCAA Tournament.

WHAT’S AT STAKE

Georgetown: The Hoyas need to stop the bleeding. After putting up a great fight on the road in Milwaukee, Georgetown had a horrible stretch to open the second half and was never really competitive afterwards in losing at home to UConn. A win over a good St. John’s team on the road that will probably be missing Devion Smith would be a great way to end the slide and get back on track for Ed Cooley and Co. In a down year for the Big East, St. John’s offers up one of the better resume building win opportunities at the moment.
