| Team | 1 | 2 | T |
| St. John’s | 30 | 34 | 64 |
| Georgetown | 28 | 31 | 59 |
Hello, everyone. Mike here as the Hoyas get ready to start their last chance push for an NCAA Tournament bid. Only a title will assure the Hoyas of a spot, but maybe a strong showing in the tournament might be enough. That being said, the Hoyas must first focus their attention on St. John’s. The loss a week ago is still fresh in the minds of the players, and I am sure they would like nothing better than to atone for their sins in this game. I will be keeping you updated on all the action here, and feel free to add your own thoughts or questions in the comments.
