St. John’s just provided the 2nd upset of the day by knocking off Georgetown 64-59. That makes me 0-2 on my picks for the day. I hope nobody was paying attention to me.
Paris Horne had 23 for the Johnnies and D.J. Kennedy finished with 14 after a blazing start. But it was Justin Burrell and Sean Evans who came up big down the stretch for the Red Storm. Burrell had a monster and-1 dunk over Greg Monroe and nailed all his free throws and Evans finished with 12 points and 14 rebounds.
I don’t know what to think about the NIT-bound Hoyas. They’re awful. They haven’t reached 60 points in their last 5 games. I think the honeymoon is officially over for John Thompson III.
St. John’s moves on to face Marquette tomorrow at 2:30. We’ll play the winner of that on Thursday.
