St. John's Red Storm at Georgetown Hoyas
· NCAA Men's BasketballNo. 15 St. John's builds a huge early lead and beats Georgetown 66-41 for its 7th straight win
Eight players scored for the Red Storm, on their longest run of consecutive wins in Big East play since 2000. St. John's (18-3, 9-1) is off to its best start since opening the 1985-86 season 20-2 during the program's heyday under Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca.
Tied with No. 9 Marquette atop the league standings, St. John's is 9-1 in conference games for the first time since the 1984-85 team was 14-0 on the way to an outright Big East regular-season title and a Final Four appearance.
This one was over early, with Rick Pitino's team jumping ahead by scores of 23-3 and 37-9 and leading by 30 late in the first half. Malik Mack had 13 points for Georgetown (13-8, 4-6), which cut the margin to 15 with 6:33 remaining but could not close the gap any further.
It was the fewest points allowed by St. John's in a Big East game and its stingiest defensive performance overall since an 82-39 rout of Drake in November 2010.
Georgetown: Scoring is an issue for coach Ed Cooley's bunch. The Hoyas failed to reach 70 points for an eighth consecutive game, the program's longest such stretch since 2005-06, and 41 was their lowest total of the season.
Georgetown: Hosts Butler on Friday night.
